The Area - Calahonda
Founded in 1963, Calahonda has won several awards over the years including very recently
being voted 'Best Urbanisation'.
Rural flavour and coastal lifestyle are two of Calahonda's most attractive features,
because, although the area is developed, its founder was keen on green areas, large
plots and limits on apartment buildings.
Thus, the area has grown in a generally peaceful and rustic fashion. While the vast
majority of Calahonda's 600,000 square metres is devoted to villas, townhouses and
space for four golf courses, selected areas have been dedicated to providing residents
with every amenity imaginable.
There are, therefore, three commercial centres which house most of the development's
45 restaurants, cafeterias and pubs as well as seven banks, several supermarkets and
a wide variety of other businesses including: hardware, furniture, garden supply,
travel agencies, car hire, car repair, property management and much more.
Due to its exceptional quality of life, Calahonda is the ideal place to spend long
periods of the year or even to became your place of residence.
Calahonda is known as one of the leading and most popular resident communities on
the Costa del Sol its population varies dependent on the time of the year from a minimum
of 14,000 to 45,000 at the highest, including a mixture of English, Spanish, Dutch,
German, and Scandinavians etc.
In Calahonda, not only the typical pueblo look survived, but it has flourished. The
urbanisation is a classic example of how to preserve the traditional splendour
of Arabic
Spain design, while blending it with modern touches and comforts that the discerning
home-buyers desires.
The pretty port, Puerto Cabopino, with its small boatyard, attractive architecture
and choice of restaurants may be a secret for some, but for those in the know, it's
not to be missed.
We can also advise on local long term car hire Spain options to help you get around if you plan to stay for an extended break.
