Key characteristics of location, homes, project phase and points of attention.
The restaurant is situated in the heart of Alhaurín el Grande, a town in the province of Málaga. Its immediate proximity to various local amenities, such as pharmacies 145 meters away and a supermarket 386 meters away, makes the location highly accessible for daily needs. The inland location, while still reasonably close to the coast and airport, provides a balance between urban life and accessibility.
This property offers dual functionality: a commercial space for hospitality operations and two apartments above. This setup is suitable for an owner-operator wishing to live and work in the same location, or for investors looking to rent out the apartments separately. The extensive facilities, including a large kitchen and terraces, support professional operation.
This is an existing, operational restaurant with a history dating back to 2001. The description mentions a 'newly constructed' duplex apartment above the property, indicating recent additions or renovations. The overall condition is described as excellent, suggesting that both the commercial and residential areas are well-maintained and modernized.
This property is offered as a leasehold (traspaso), meaning the buyer acquires the right to continue the existing commercial operation, including the lease rights to the property. The monthly rent is €3,500 for the entire property. This does not represent full ownership of the real estate but the acquisition of a going concern business, including inventory and fixtures.
This property is potentially attractive to entrepreneurs looking to take over an established hospitality business in a popular Spanish region. It suits investors interested in combining a commercial lease with the potential for additional income from the two accompanying apartments. For individuals seeking a new lifestyle phase in Spain and wishing to start immediately with a proven business model, this is a fitting option. The inclusion of apartments also makes it appealing to international buyers who desire their own residence and business operations in one location, without the need for immediate renovation.
The property is a traditional Andalusian townhouse converted into a restaurant and apartments. Its condition is described as excellent. Internally, there are two dining rooms seating 55 guests. The outdoor area features a terrace accommodating up to 80 guests. The professional kitchen is equipped with appliances from brands such as Electrolux and Zanussi. There is extensive storage space across three warehouses, two additional storage rooms, and a garden maintenance warehouse, along with two staff changing rooms. The two apartments, one of which is a duplex, are also described as high-quality and in excellent condition.
The property, an established restaurant with two apartments, is offered for sale at €250,000 through a leasehold agreement. This is in addition to a monthly rent of €3,500. The purchase price covers the acquisition of the ongoing business, including inventory, furniture, and fittings. No specific price variations are mentioned; the price is a fixed amount for the entire leasehold transaction. Availability is immediate, as the business is fully operational.

Alhaurín el Grande is located inland on the Costa del Sol, offering a different environment compared to direct coastal towns like Estepona or Benalmádena. Projects such as Acqua Gardens and Aby Upper in Estepona, starting from €418,800 and €320,000 respectively, focus primarily on new-build apartments with sea views and beach access. Alba Benalmádena, with a higher entry price of €699,000, also positions itself as a coastal project emphasizing luxury apartments. The property in Alhaurín el Grande, however, is a commercial leasehold (traspaso) of a restaurant with living space. This significantly differentiates it from typical new-build projects in the region. While coastal projects cater to a typical residential or holiday destination, this property in Alhaurín el Grande offers an opportunity for entrepreneurs looking to continue an existing business in a more locally oriented Andalusian town. The price of €250,000 for the takeover, excluding monthly rent, is therefore not directly comparable to the purchase price of full ownership of apartments elsewhere but represents the value of a going concern.
