Compared to projects directly on the coast or in more tourist-centric areas like Torre del Mar, Mijas, or Estepona, this plot in Colmenar offers a significantly different price structure and living environment. The mentioned projects such as Aquamar (from €219,950), Lantana Residencial (from €205,000), and Etherna Homes 2 (from €259,000) are already developed properties, making their prices considerably higher than a building plot. Colmenar positions itself as a location for those who prefer an authentic Spanish inland character, with the tranquility of the mountains and a more local community, while still remaining relatively close to the amenities of the Costa del Sol. The price of €58,500 for an urban plot with building plans is competitive for buyers willing to look beyond the immediate coastline and initiate construction themselves. This contrasts with the finished homes which often command a premium price for their seaside location.
