Nueva Andalucia

Nueva Andalucia lies just west of Marbella where, as its name suggests, the villas and apartments are based on traditional Andalucian architecture and design.

The bullring is at the entrance to Nueva Andalucia, while the road climbs towards the mountains, providing magnificent views of the coast. On a clear day you can even see North Africa in the distance. Sports enthusiasts can find plenty on offer here with tennis, paddle tennis and a gymnasium. For golfers in particular, the area could not be more ideal. There are several magnificent courses within virtual putting distance, including Las Brisas, Los Naranjos, Aloha Golf and La Dama de Noche, which is floodlit for nighttime play. All the Nueva Andalucia golf courses are surrounded by stunning scenery with a backdrop of mountains.

Nueva Andalucía is also fast becoming known for its international cuisine, which ranges from an American deli to first class restaurants. It also boasts one of the most popular commercial centres in the area, Centro Plaza comprising quality shops, restaurants, bars and offices, as well as a supermarket, gymnasium and beauty parlour. In other words, this thriving commercial centre has everything that the consumer might want - from taking care of the weekly shop, to buying unusual and exquisite gifts, including carpets, antiques, luxury toiletries and, not surprisingly perhaps, everything you may need for the golfer in the family. There is also an excellent street market (rastro) held next to the bullring here every Saturday morning.
