Yachts, mountains, beaches, plazas, and the sea are all things one thinks of when describing Nueva Andalucia, but, as its position along southern Spain's Costa del Sol commands, the sun, with its tirelessly warm and golden hues, is the feature of this town of less than 12,000 that burns most brightly in the mind. Whether a resident begins their daily adventures at the historic bullring, the Centro Plaza, or atop a varnished deck in the famed Puerto Banus, it is the comfortable and life-enthusing power of the sun that drives them as they set off to hike the nearby Sierra de Ronda Mountains, taste authentic Spanish cuisines, or explore the deep blue waters of the Western Mediterranean. Even after it has set, this energy seems to remain alive amid the numerous casinos and nightclubs that line not only Nueva Andalucia proper, but also nearby Marbella and San Pedro de Alcantara. It is even found, albeit in a more timeless and introspective form, in the ancient churches, cobblestone streets, and ruins that have graced the Andulasian region for centuries. Fortunately, due to strict planning ordinances, the festive, authentic, and pleasant nature of Nueva Andalucia is guaranteed to be preserved for generations to come. This means that no matter whether a prospective buyer chooses to settle in a traditional Spanish-style villa or a modern condo that looks out onto the streamlined yachts that are anchored near Puerto Banus, they are assured a happy, and continuous, return on their investment.
