It can be confusing of where Sitio de Calahonda, Upper Calahonda, Calypso and El Zoco all start and finish, leading from the beachside to just 5 minutes inland for those looking for a slightly more peaceful lifestyle, and the benefits of both worlds.

With a great transport system, investing in a property for long term or holiday rental would be a great option to consider.

Rural flavour and coastal lifestyle are two of Calahonda's most attractive features, because, although the area is developed, its founder was keen on green areas, large plots and limits on apartment buildings.

Thus, the area has grown in a generally peaceful and rustic fashion.
