Costa del Sol 2026 – where to live, what to buy and what your budget really gets you

You’ve got 15 tabs open. Marbella, Estepona, Benahavís, Sotogrande – they all look appealing, they all seem to be within budget, and you still have absolutely no idea which one is right for you. The Costa del Sol isn’t short of options. It’s short of honest, area-specific guidance to help you make sense of them.

Hosted with Affinity Spain, a specialist agency operating in the Costa del Sol since 2007, this free 30-minute session gives you everything you need to feel confident about buying property on the Costa del Sol – a grounded tour of the coastline from Sotogrande through Estepona, Casares and Benahavís into Marbella, real properties at different price points, and an honest picture of what each area is actually like to live in.

In this webinar, you’ll learn about:

• The key differences between the main western Costa del Sol hotspots and who each tends to suit
• What your budget realistically gets you in 2026, from lock-up-and-leave apartments to family villas
• How Affinity Spain pre-screens properties and vendors on behalf of overseas buyers
• Local amenities, schools, beaches, golf and healthcare across each area
