Fuengirola is the most complete town on this coast. It has a beach that runs for 8 km, a train line that ends in the middle of it, a hospital, schools, a year-round population and a new-build market of 57 developments from €215,000 to €3,960,000 — with a median starting price of €705,000. It is not the prettiest town in Andalucía, and it does not pretend to be. It is the one where daily life...

Torremolinos was the first town on this coast to be built for tourism, in the 1950s and 1960s, and it shows — in the density, in the apartment towers, and in a town centre that has more shops per square metre than anywhere else between Málaga and Marbella. It is also the most affordable place to buy new on the coast: 16 developments on our books, from €212,000 to €1,500,000, with a median starting...

Benalmádena is three towns stacked on top of each other: a beach strip with a marina, a working town centre at Arroyo de la Miel, and a white village 250 m above them both. Buyers who like one of them often dislike the other two, and the price gap between them is large. Across the municipality there are 28 new developments on our books, from €338,900 to €4,875,000, with a median starting price of...

Mijas is the most misunderstood municipality on the Costa del Sol. People say "Mijas" and mean the white village on the mountain, or the golf courses, or the beach at La Cala, or the flat sprawl of Las Lagunas next to Fuengirola — and those four places have almost nothing in common except a town hall. Between them they hold 118 new developments, from €213,000 to €3,800,000, with a median starting...

Benahavís is a mountain municipality of about 145 km² that reaches from the hills above San Pedro down to the coast road, and it contains some of the most expensive residential land in Spain alongside a village where you can still buy a two bedroom apartment for €395,000. That contradiction is why the town confuses buyers: the median starting price is €3,900,000, the highest of the seven towns we...

Estepona is the municipality that grew up while nobody was looking. Twenty years ago it was a working fishing town with a bypass problem; today it has 114 new developments on our books, a restored old town, a marina, a 20-kilometre coastline and the widest price range of any town on this stretch — €223,370 to €4,750,000, with a median starting price of €699,500. It is also the only place where a...

Marbella is the name of a town, a municipality and a brand, and the three do not cover the same ground. The municipality runs about 27 km of coastline from Cabopino in the east to the Río Guadaiza in the west, and it contains a walkable old town, a marina that functions as a small city, a golf valley, nine or ten residential districts and a working Spanish town at San Pedro. Prices across that range from...
