A Little Bit About Sitio De Calahonda, Spain
Calahonda is a large residential area between Marbella and Fuengirola. It has developed significantly over the years. It is part of La Cala de Mijas, in the municipality of Mijas.
Rural flavour and coastal lifestyle are two of Calahonda's most attractive features, as, although the area is developed, there are vast green areas as well as children's parks. Thus, the area has grown in a generally peaceful and rustic fashion.
While the vast majority of Calahonda's 600,000m2 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 travel agencies, car hire and much more.
Calahonda also offers a total of 10 golf courses within a 10 kilometre radius of this urbanisation, which also has its own port, Cabopino. And, having its own share of coastline, puts a spotlights on a wide array of water sports as well. Tennis courts and a fitness centre are also available.
The quaint village of Mijas is within a 25mins drive, while Marbella and Fuengirola can be reached in 10-15mins by car. The famous historic cities of Cádiz, Granada, Ronda, Sevilla and Cordoba are all within a 2hrs drive. The Atlantic coast and Gibraltar are only 1hr and a half drive away.
