Nueva Andalucia

Nueva Andalucia is a residential area ideally situated within walking distance of the famous Puerto Banus and within a 10 minute drive of both Marbella and San Pedro de Alcantara on the Costa del Sol in Andalusia.

The area is ideal for those who wish to be based close to the beaches, nightlife and amenities of the area, and it is also an excellent base to explore the whole of the Costa del Sol.

About town
Nueva Andalucia is more a residential area, than a town, but it has all the facilities and amenities of a town, without the major hustle and bustle, traffic and noise.

The area centres around the bullring and spreads out, heading down towards the port and up to a golf valley, eventually climbing up towards the backdrop of the Sierra de Ronda mountain range.

Shops, supermarkets, bars, restaurants, hairdressers, gymnasiums, casinos, gift shops; you name it, Nueva Andalucia has it. As well as the wonderful Saturday morning market that starts in the Centro Plaza and sprawls down into Puerto Banus itself.

Places to visit
The only thing Nueva Andalucia doesn’t have is a particularly long history, ancient buildings or too much culture. But don’t worry just 10 minutes away you have the wonderful historic town of Marbella, or the charming cobbled streets of San Pedro.

You are also well located to head up to idyllic mountain town of Benahavis or take a trip up to Ronda and the historic and charming town of Estepona is around 20 minutes drive from Nueva Andalucia.

Beaches
Nueva Andalucia covers a fairly large area, so depending on where you are staying, will mean you can walk to the beach, into Puerto Banus and the surrounding beaches, or you will need to catch a bus or hop in the car for the 10 minutes or so that it will take you to get there.
