La Cala de Mijas is the quiet choice for buyers seeking quality without the crowds and prices of Marbella. The town lies within the municipality of Mijas, between Fuengirola and Marbella, and has an authentic village character with a fishing beach, a pleasant centre and new-build developments that are attracting a fast-growing international buyer group. The main difference from most towns on the Costa del Sol is the scale. La Cala is small enough to retain its own character, yet large enough to offer all essential amenities. The beach is wide, the promenade uncrowded and the Spanish atmosphere is noticeably intact compared to more touristially developed places. New development is concentrated on the hills above the town, where villas and apartments with sea views are being built. A two-bedroom apartment here typically costs between 400,000 and 600,000 euros. A three-bedroom villa with sea views starts at around 750,000 euros, well below comparable properties in Marbella. Existing homes are sometimes available from 280,000 euros. The rental market in La Cala is growing. The proximity of La Cala Golf Resort, one of the largest golf complexes in Spain with three courses, ensures a steady flow of golfers outside the summer season. Marbella is 20 minutes by car and Malaga Airport is reachable in half an hour. Buyers looking for the best of both worlds, a peaceful living environment with strong rental potential, increasingly find that combination in La Cala de Mijas.

Buying on the Costa del Sol follows a number of set steps: orientation and selection, viewings, a legal and structural check of the property, negotiation, a preliminary purchase contract with a deposit and finally the notarial transfer. DutchQ guides Dutch and Belgian buyers through every step, with an independent lawyer for the legal review.
Besides the purchase price, in Spain you pay transfer tax or VAT, notary and registration fees and your lawyer's fees. For a second home there are also annual charges such as the municipal property tax (IBI), community fees and the non-resident tax. The exact percentages depend on the property type and current legislation. We calculate the expected costs with you in advance.
A buying advisor works exclusively for you as the buyer, unlike a selling agent. Especially if you do not know the local market, are not on site or are buying in Spain for the first time, independent guidance prevents costly mistakes. DutchQ assesses the price based on market data, checks the property legally and structurally and negotiates on your behalf.
