| Calahonda Situated in the province of Malaga midway between Marbella and Fuengirola, Calahonda is a collection of urbanizations comprising of apartments and villas. Puerto Banus, southern Europe's premier boating and leisure centre, is only 15 minutes away and Malaga airport can be reached within 20 minutes via a fast modern highway. Its situation and southern orientation, provides the area with the unique climate in Europe and, coming from the coast of Africa, clearly visible from the urbanization, refreshing night winds. The urbanization extends gently from the coast up to the undulating hills 300 meters above sea level, offering fantastic views of the surrounding countryside running down to the sea, and along the coastline to Gibraltar and Africa. The Atlas Mountains and African coastline are often clearly visible. Sitio de Calahonda is the largest property development you will find between Marbella and Fuengirola. In fact, this neighbourhood has grown so successfully that it could qualify as a town. 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 meters are 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. A chemist and three medical centres, offering 24-hour service, provide for health care needs. Furthermore, the state-funded Hospital Costa del Sol is well known as the Coast's state-of-the-art medical facility and is just minutes from Calahonda. Sports are easily incorporated into a Calahonda lifestyle. For starters, there are a total of 10 golf courses within a 10-kilometre radius of this urbanization, which also has its own port, Cabopino. And having its own share of coastline puts a spotlight on a wide array of water sports as well. Tennis courts and a fitness centre are also available to residents.
