Marbella Property Blog

El Madroñal is a pine cork forested residential area of private estates situated close to Marbella at around a 15min drive and to the coast at 10min, and only a 40 minutes drive to the old city of Ronda.

A highly exclusive and well-established area defined by its famous golf course, Las Brisas is one of the most sought after residential parts of Marbella.

When it was ‘discovered’ as an idyllic spot on the European map back in the 1950s, and subsequently became the darling of well-to-do visitors from around the world, Marbella was little more than a humble fishing village on Spain’s southern Mediterranean coast.

The Málaga region has recently been in the grip of some major new infrastructural projects that form part of a larger and ongoing expansion and improvement of communication links and facilities in the area.

The Costa del Sol as we know it now, first saw light in the early 1950s, when a group of pioneering jet-setters chose this southern region of Mediterranean Spain as the perfect spot to spend the summer – and increasing – the whole year.
