Market notes

Costa del Sol town by town: which pace are you after?

By Marie Segerholm · Published

A qualitative note from our buyer conversations: the coast splits into clear paces, and the right choice starts with how you want to live – not the price.

Lively and close to everything

Fuengirola and Benalmádena attract those who want services, trains and a Swedish presence nearby.

Classic and elegant

Marbella and Nueva Andalucía are chosen for restaurants, golf and a prime location – often with a car taken for granted.

Calmer and more authentic

Estepona, Mijas pueblo and Sotogrande are sought by buyers wanting breathing room, old towns or marina life at a calmer pace.
