In the presence of royalty and officials from all levels of government, the new terminal T3 was unveiled at Malaga Airport. The works have lasted 5 years and T3 is part of the ambitious ‘Malaga Plan’ for the expansion and transformation of the airport, which will be completed by the construction of two new approach roads and a second runway, which is hoped to be in use by 2011.

With the new facilities, Malaga airport will be able to double its capacity to 30 million passengers a year, and will have 3,700 car parking spaces, and all of this part of the concept of unique service, given that the old terminal will be linked with the new one. Malaga is thus being converted into the principal airport for Andalucia and southern Spain in terms of the volume of passengers, and the fourth for Spain.

Malaga will be able to count itself as one of the most up-to-date airports in Europe and the 15th March 2010 will be a historic date marking a milestone in the development and growth of economic, business, and particularly touristic activity, as King Juan Carlos I and the Ministry of Public Works, Jose Blanco, emphasized in theirinaugural speeches (spanish).

Video about the project (in Spanish): “Everything that can be imagined is real”.

Here you can see a virtual tour of the new terminal and find more information about the project.

The villa is perfect for a couple with guests or visiting family. The guest bedrooms are in a private wing on the ground floor and also in the basement which because of the slope of the plot has direct access to the gardens whilst the master suite occupies the upper floor and has a large open private terrace. When the couple is alone in the house, the guests’ wings can be easily closed off and they use their master suite upstairs and the reception rooms on the ground floor so they house is more intimate and manageable.

The large covered terraces on the ground floor has folding glass doors thus making it posible to use them during the whole year. It’s a delight to sit here on a winter day to enjoy the views over the garden and swimming pool and bask in the sun.

The house will appeal to those who love the old Marbella style. It has an Andalucian country feel with its terracotta floors and traditional doors and windows. However, with proper renovation and changes it can be turned into a more contemporary home.

A couple of years ago we sold the house next door to a Spanish family and with some renovation and enhancement it has been turned into a beautiful up-to-date home. The same can be done to this house which is now awaiting its new owner.

The talk highlighted the main areas of concern of the new Urban Plan, and what problems it would face once it was approved. The general opinion was that it is important to approve an urban plan soon, which will bring added security to the area.

The meeting was important in that very rarely do lawyers, architects and real estate agents get together to discuss the impacts of the New Urban Plan on owners and Marbella. This was a great opportunity to exchange opinions and listen to the experts who had a variety of views on this matter.

“… Prices are back where they were in 2004 or before. You can now buy lovely villas in Marbella for between €1m and €2m — that’s less than the replacement value. On a lower budget, a townhouse that was sold for €375,000 in 2005 recently went for €250,000. I can’t see it getting better than this“.
