For a long time, San Pedro Alcántara was a charming little town within ten minutes of Marbella that retained an authentic Andalusian feel about it. The areas around it have long been home to luxurious resorts and residential developments dissected by the lush greenery of golf courses, but it is fair to say that San Pedro is growing ever more popular among residents and homebuyers alike.
There may be more sunshine and less frost in Marbella than you see in most traditional Christmas landscape scenery, but there’s plenty of sparkle and spirit to enjoy here at this time of year. The Costa del Sol is the perfect place to spend the holiday as it combines Spanish traditions with customs from the foreign expatriate communities that live here, creating a wonderful mix of festive fun.
Cruise up the Ronda road and on your right you will pass the exclusive residences of El Madroñal, a well-established gated country club community that has been a luxury Marbella property buyers’ choice since the 1980s.
Marbella is one of the most appealing residential locations to be found in southern Europe and the suburb of Río Real houses some of the best and most desirable homes in Marbella. Situated just to the east of the popular tourist resort, Río Real is an exclusive area with beautiful beaches, first class amenities and a variety of incredible luxury properties.
The trend for buyers investing in new build properties on the Costa del Sol remains in its ascent and this type of residence is becoming even more popular as the Spanish real estate market continues to prosper and flourish.
Tranquility, awe-inspiring views and beautiful natural surroundings are just three reasons why buyers are heading to the hills when purchasing real estate in and around Marbella. The popular resort town has many distinct and prestigious districts; the Golden Mile and Puerto Banús are already well known, and others like Sierra Blanca are emerging as additional gems of the local property market.
