Regional Comparison

Compared to projects in coastal towns like Mijas or Fuengirola, the price of €284,000 offers significantly more square meters of living space and land. While Astra Homes in Fuengirola starts from €364,000 for smaller apartments, here one acquires a full detached villa. However, the distance to the beach is greater in this region. The living environment here focuses on tranquility and nature, whereas coastal projects focus on tourism and beach proximity. The investment in the additional plot with a mill is unique to this region and not standard for coastal apartments.
