The town combines authentic Andalusian charm in its historic old quarter with modern amenities including quality healthcare (with English-speaking doctors), international schools, low crime rates, and strong infrastructure. The welcoming expat community, pedestrian-friendly streets, weekly markets, cultural festivals, and proximity to beaches, golf courses, and nature make it ideal for families, retirees, and remote workers.
