The E-MAGAZINE of Marbella Hills Homes

La Quinta is an extensive, residential area just outside of San Pedro de Alcántara, within the Benahavís municipality, part of what is known in real estate as The Golden Triangle.

These stylish modern villas by renowned Argentinian-born architect Ángel Taborda enjoy timeless refinement and unique character accompanied with contemporary luxury and comfort. Set in the upper western part of Sierra Blanca – a luxurious villa suburb set between Marbella town and the imposing mountain range of La Concha – these spacious three-four bedroom villas enjoy peace and privacy while surveying the entire Marbella coastline and the Mediterranean Sea.

When some people arrive in Spain to buy property they are tempted to cut costs by not engaging the services of a lawyer. Our advice is that this could result in greater costs in the long term.

Over the years, Middle Eastern holidaymakers have not been an uncommon sight in this area, often enjoying the luxury of some of Marbella’s most exclusive locations. And this year, our tourism sector expects a bumper season, largely due to record numbers of high-spending Arab visitors.

It’s official. Not only is Marbella popular among owners of luxury cars, it’s also highly appreciated by the top brands themselves. After Audi earlier in the year, it has now been announced that another major international luxury car manufacturer – Mercedes Benz – has chosen Marbella as the global launch pad of its newest upmarket model.

Those who travel tend to make comparisons and weigh different places up against each other. This is not only true of major world cities such as New York, Paris and London, or the desire to compare Madrid and Barcelona, but it is also the case with luxury seaside resort locations such as Monaco, the Costa Smeralda, Mallorca, the Côte d’Azur, Florida, California and of course, Marbella.
