Calahonda
Calahonda is a relative child compared to the
rest of the coast and its real development did not start until the dawn of
tourism on the coast. Located between two of the area's premier resorts,
Marbella and Fuengirola, and only 20 minutes from the international
airport at Málaga, Calahonda is one of the most popular residential
communities on the Costa del Sol.
Calahonda was founded in 1963, and attracts
both visitors and residents from across Europe. Attracted by the warm
all-year round climate, the natural and artistic riches, and its
exceptional quality of life.
Calahonda is located close to several golf
courses and has the typically sun-drenched beaches for which the
Mediterranean is famous. Just a couple of kilometres along the road is
Puerto Cabopino, which has the reputation for being the most secluded and
picturesque port on the Costa and is a popular venue for tourists who want
to enjoy a good meal before taking a walk along its sandy beaches. Some of
the Coast's most popular restaurants, such as Albert's and Giuseppe's
Pizzeria, are located here.
Nearby you'll discover Miraflores, a popular
golf and lawn bowls resort and then Mijas, Andalucía's most popular white
village, which is situated slightly further northeast in the hills.
Calahonda is a new area in terms of human
development and so has only one monument. If you travel into the hills of
Calahonda, just past the El Portón complex, you will encounter a small
Christian monument which, due to its location, stands out like a beacon;
on a clear day you should be able to see the whole coast from here,
including Africa and Gibraltar.
Weather you need peace and quiet, or attractions for kids, bars and
restaurants, markets, golf, tennis and pools are all on tap in the
immediate area. An ideal family holiday location
