I've been on and off this site for over ten years, and rate it as the best of its kind. I live in England and have visited the Calahonda, Benalmádenda area on and off over that period as we have relatives there.
With retirement a few years away and in terms of exploring options, I reckon renting for a few months at a time - especially over the winter - is the best option in terms of assessing purchase/rental options.
I'm sure others here have gone down the same path, and I would welcome their views.
Cheers
Chris

Re: ¡Hola todos!
Hi, I think it would helpful if you outlined your expectations/preferences of amenities etc otherwise the replies would be of limited value.
Re: ¡Hola todos!
Good point. Wish lists are what they are and tempered by reality, but:
- Close to shops, restaurants, amenities but not hectic/within earshot of noisy clubs etc.
- Not touristy. We appreciate Spain and its culture.
- Security: restricted access.
- Car not essential. I understand the coastal rail system is good?
- We'd rather pay more for quality than go cheap/get junk.
They're the main points.

Re: ¡Hola todos!
Elviria or Urbanisation Rosario fills all your requirements. Would have to be the lower part if no car and there is no railway after Fuengirola. Personally Calahonda is a no no. You could look at LA Cala de Mijas too.
Re: ¡Hola todos!
Have you thought about east of malaga city. Good bus links and very Spanish. Nothing like lala land Calahonda.
Re: ¡Hola todos!
Thanks - I have, but only recently. Costa Tropical? Based on my little research so far, it certainly looks more traditional; property prices look lower; closer to Granada. Much more research to do though!
