Marbella info please
 

Anyone live or lived or just spend a lot of time round the Sierra Blanca area of Marbella? Had a walk round some urbanisations on the west side above the motorway and it all seemed nice and quiet but you can't really get a grasp of the area just walking about once. Also is there decent fibre broadband round there?

Also is there a way of seeing what planing permission is on a piece of land?

Re: Marbella info please
 

The Marbella Town Council ( Ayuntamiento ) should have such information. Start at the building in Orange Square , they should send you to the right department.

cheers, had a look but I can't read Spanish and a lot of it couldn't translate. not sure whether you know it or can see but there's quite a large parcel of land next to the Urb Corona De Nagueles in Sierra Blanca which looks prime for development

You would need the cadastral number of the land .Where is the land advertised?

Re: Marbella info please
 

Suggest you find a Spanish-speaking friend to accompany you and spend time in the planning department ( the link I sent previously ) As has been pointed out you will need a "cadastral"number - the property reference for the area . I do not know that side of the motorway very well, only venture up there for the Starlite Festival in the old quarry every summer.

thanks, I'll see what I can find out. Im still in the UK, just came back from another week there where we had a look round some more areas west of marbella this time. On another note noticed this year more Brits out there on 'the con' trying to trick tourists with hard luck stories. Never seen that before

Have a look at Guadalmina. Lovely area both beach side and around golf course.

Not far from my friends place in San Pedro, near The Emerald Sports bar if you know it

Re: Marbella info please
 

Yes but generally more pleasant area to be without being too far from everything
