Area Guide Alcaidesa Area Guide | Golf, Green Hills and Gibraltar Views At a Glance Technically, Alcaidesa belongs to Cádiz, but the Costa del Sol often stretches its borders when it makes sense. I do the same, because most of my clients searching in Estepona or Sotogrande will also consider Alcaidesa. It sits just west of Sotogrande and before Gibraltar, and while it feels slightly separate, it is part of the same lifestyle mix. This is a… Filip Peretz · 4 min read Area Guide San Roque Area Guide: History & Golf   Most people on the Costa del Sol have heard of Sotogrande. Fewer realise that Sotogrande is just one part of the municipality of San Roque, a place in Cádiz province that predates every luxury development around it by about 300 years. When people hear me say San Roque, they often picture the golf club. But San Roque is the whole municipality, and it covers… Filip Peretz · 9 min read Area Guide Sotogrande Area Guide: Europe’s Most Private Resort Sotogrande is the kind of place that doesn’t need to introduce itself. If you know it, you already understand the appeal. If you don’t, no amount of marketing language will capture it. The best description is this: it was designed by people with serious money, for people with serious money, and it has never deviated from that brief. It sits inside the municipality of San… Filip Peretz · 12 min read Area Guide Manilva Filip Peretz Not indexed Area Guide Casares Filip Peretz Not indexed Area Guide Estepona Guide: Lifestyle, Property & Coastal Living Estepona has quietly become one of the most talked about towns on the Costa del Sol. It used to be the laid back neighbor to Marbella, but that description no longer fits. Estepona is growing with intention, clear direction and style. There’s no aimless high rise boom, no selling out to the highest bidder. Development here has structure and pride. And that’s largely thanks to… Filip Peretz · 6 min read Area Guide The New Golden Mile Area Guide | Beachfront Dreams & Real World Details Not to be confused with the Golden Mile in Marbella, the New Golden Mile is something else entirely. Stretching west of San Pedro and running toward the start of Estepona, this area is part of the Estepona municipality. And it’s growing. Fast. You’ve probably heard of it if you’ve spent any time researching Costa del Sol. Maybe it came up while browsing new developments, beachfront… Filip Peretz · 7 min read Area Guide Cancelada Area Guide | Small Town Charm & Smart Money At a Glance Cancelada is one of those places you either know or you don’t. It doesn’t advertise itself. There are no glossy billboards on the A7. No influencers showing up for content. It sits quietly above the highway on the New Golden Mile, part of the Estepona municipality, with Marbella 15 minutes to the east and Estepona town 10 minutes to the west. From… Filip Peretz · 8 min read Area Guide San Pedro de Alcántara Area Guide | Lifestyle Meets Local San Pedro de Alcántara isn’t the midpoint between Marbella and Estepona. It’s its own thing. A real town, with history, rhythm, and everyday life. Some buyers stumble into it almost by accident, expecting to find Marbella spillover, and then stay for the lifestyle. Others have known about it for years. Locals. Families. Investors who saw the growth early. For us, it became home after years… Filip Peretz · 6 min read
