The feel

Algarrobo is one of the quieter coastal municipalities in the Axarquía, with a beach at Algarrobo Costa and a white village, Algarrobo Pueblo, a few kilometres inland. The coast has a long promenade, a handful of chiringuitos and a strong year-round community, while the pueblo keeps the older rhythm of olives and grapes. It is a good compromise for buyers who want the sea without the intensity of the central resorts.

Why consider it

A long, accessible beach and promenade
A village and a coast in the same municipality
More value than the central Costa del Sol

The property

The coast is apartment-led, with townhouses and villas on the edge; the pueblo is resale and renovation. New-build supply is modest but present, especially along the coast road.
