Today we would like to start our newsletter with this great announcement made by our President on Saturday. He officially confirmed that from July tourism will resume and that it will be “safe”, he added. You can now plan your vacation in Spain, so contact us! Our agents will help…

El Paraíso, is situated just west of San Pedro Alcántara and Guadalmina, and was the first luxury residential resort area to be developed within Estepona’s municipal boundaries. The golf course designed by the legendary Gary Player in 1970 was also among the earliest on the Costa del Sol, and it provided the focal point around which attractive villas and small apartment and townhouse complexes took root.

The coronavirus has made us appreciate what we already knew – namely that living space is an essential part of any Marbella home, and the private area your house provides is the essence of having a safe and comfortable spot in which to relax, socialise, entertain, enjoy family life and be yourself.

Spain, like Italy, made the headlines when the coronavirus struck Europe, as these were the two countries initially hardest-hit, but as both slowly ease away from lockdown restrictions having turned a corner in terms of diminishing new cases and fatalities, it becomes clear that Andalucía – and the Costa del Sol in particular – was one of the least-affected parts of the country.

When we think of technology we look at the smart phone in our hands, and how it has beaten a path from the earliest mainframes and PCs to laptops and tablets in changing the way we work, communicate, access information and even entertain ourselves. This kind of hardware, along with the internet and other forms of software behind it, have transformed the world we know and given shape to the 21st century. Indeed, we live in a technological era in which scientific and electronic evolution are speeding up exponentially, and literally invading the home.

Whether you’re in Marbella or elsewhere, having access to a garden and personal green space is a wonderful privilege, and given its wonderfully sunny climate, there are few places in Europe where outdoor living is as varied and rewarding as here.
