Coastal district of Velez-Malaga between Rio Velez and Almayate dunes. Flat grid centred on Avenida Andalucia and a 4 km palm promenade with lighthouse and 18th-century Torre del Mar watchtower. Mix of Spanish families and moderate expat presence keeps commerce active all year. Backed by Sierra de Tejeda hills that soften winter winds. Modern fibre network, desalination plant and a central bus station support daily life.
Housing is led by 4–8-storey 1960s-1990s apartment blocks facing the sea; many feature lifts and communal pools after refurbishment. Recent projects such as Residencial Mediterraneo and Edificio Cortijo del Sol add energy-efficient units with garages. Townhouses cluster north of the N-340 near Viña Malaga. Detached homes are scarce and lie on the inland edge. Holiday lets are common, yet long-term demand from local workers maintains occupancy.
