About town
Nueva Andalucia is more a residential area, than a town, but it has all the facilities and amenities of a town, without the major hustle and bustle, traffic and noise.
The area centres around the bullring and spreads out, heading down towards the port and up to a golf valley, eventually climbing up towards the backdrop of the Sierra de Ronda mountain range.
Shops, supermarkets, bars, restaurants, hairdressers, gymnasiums, casinos, gift shops; you name it, Nueva Andalucia has it. As well as the wonderful Saturday morning market that starts in the Centro Plaza and sprawls down into Puerto Banus itself.
Places to visit
The only thing Nueva Andalucia doesn’t have is a particularly long history, ancient buildings or too much culture. But don’t worry just 10 minutes away you have the wonderful historic town of Marbella, or the charming cobbled streets of San Pedro.
