The E-MAGAZINE of Marbella Hills Homes

It is known to tennis fans that world number one Novak Djokovic owns a property in Marbella and loves to make it his personal training base, spending long recovery periods in its lovely climate and environs, and also training at the exclusive Puente Romano tennis club.

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.
