Lifestyle

A Day in Nueva Andalucia

Mornings in Nueva Andalucia begin with coffee at one of the many terraces along Centro Plaza or a jog through the leafy streets that wind between the golf courses. The air is fresh, the Sierra Blanca rising ahead, the sea glinting behind you. By mid-morning, the area buzzes with activity. Parents drop children at Aloha College, golfers head out for their first round, and the boutique shops and gourmet supermarkets of Aloha Gardens and Nueva Andalucia centre fill with locals stocking up on fresh produce. Lunch might be sushi in one of the area's Japanese restaurants, seafood on the beach in Puerto Banus, or a long, lazy meal at a hillside restaurant with panoramic views. Afternoons can be spent at the paddle tennis club, exploring hiking trails in the mountains above, or simply relaxing by the pool. In the evening, Nueva Andalucia transforms. Restaurants light their terraces, music drifts from the marina, and the sunset paints La Concha mountain in shades of rose and gold. It is a lifestyle that draws people back, year after year.
