A brief overview of the Costa del Sol
Without fear of contradiction, Martin Real Estate, operates in one of the most sun drenched and beautiful parts of Spain. Our own home base of Calahonda, is a mere two hundred meters from the beach.

The Costa del Sol boasts an unparalleled array of pristine beaches, each with its own unique charm.
