This is a relatively new region of the Costa del Sol and it is only because
Marbella grew into such a large town that it exists today. After Marbella had
merged into San Pedro, holiday makers, developers and hoteliers started to look
for more land in which to expand. As a result, the ‘New Golden Mile’ was born.
Theory has it that the region was named after the Golden Mile region of Marbella
because of the many new luxury hotels that started to spring up in the area, as
well as a number of large villas and exclusive developments. Minor remnants of
earlier history do remain; recent discoveries point to the fact that in the 7th
Century BC there were Phoenician and Punic settlements in the region as
confirmed by the existence of the Guadalmina Thermal Baths.
The New Golden Mile is a stretch of coastline full of urbanisations, restaurants
and bars. There are many water sports to enjoy including water skiing, jet skis,
wind surfing and catamarans. Along the beaches you will find many chiringuitos
(beach bars). They normally have wonderful fresh fish on the menu, which you can
enjoy with a glass of sangria. In addition, the well-known Spanish dish paella
is available almost anywhere. In this area you can find the Selwo Safari Park;
covering more than 100 hectares the park is home to free roaming animals from
all over the world living in natural habitats that have been recreated. There
are also more than 2000 semi-free roaming animals and birds of prey. Additional
provisions within the park include nature classes, swinging bridges, safaris,
camping, accommodation and much more.
The Costa del Sol is aptly named – the sun makes an appearance almost every day
and temperatures range from a mild 8ºC in the winter to a very pleasant 30ºC in
the summer, consequently outdoor activities play a huge part in our lives, from
the more energetic pursuits such as sailing, swimming and golf to the very
popular relaxing pastime of eating and drinking!
Enjoy a plethora of sports facilities and a dynamic range of culinary delights
available in the wide selection of fantastic restaurants and cafés in every town
and city on the Costa del Sol!
Culture vultures are certainly not forgotten. The magnificent historical cities
of Sevilla, Granada, Cordoba and Jerez are only a pleasant day trip away. Who
could visit the Alhambra in Granada and not be impressed! Conversely, North
Africa is an hour’s boat ride across the strait from Algeciras – Morocco,
Tangier, Casablanca - names to fire the imagination.
Enjoy ‘Costa Living’ to the full! Experience the vast cultural heritage of
Andalucia: fairs, festivals, castles, cathedrals, equestrian shows, bull-fights,
fine wines, electrifying flamenco music and dance and much more.
