In contrast, Lantana Residencial in Mijas starts from €205,000, while Etherna Homes 2 in Estepona begins at €259,000, making this property approximately 10-29% more affordable than comparable alternatives. Unlike the more tourist-focused developments in Torremolinos or Benalmádena, La Cala de Mijas has retained a stronger residential character, creating a more balanced environment for year-round living.
