Spanish Property in La Cala de Mijas Overview from Spanish Hot Properties July 2009
2009 has been really interesting year so far for the Spanish property market the La Cala de Mijas property market has been no different. In an area of huge over building and very low prices La Cala de Mijas stands out as an Oasis in Mijas Costa as prices have held their value extremely well and compared to the prices of Calahonda and Miraflores it’s hard to believe La Cala de Mijas in only 5 minutes away and there is no sign of “La Cala” losing its magic in the near future according to Spanish Hot Properties marketing and operations manager Susana Suspenda.
“The first thing you have to understand about the La Cala de Mijas property market is the area itself Although La Cala de Mijas has maintained a level of real authentic Spanish charm, it has in some ways also taken on the feel of being quite international and cosmopolitan with many nationalities living side by side. La Cala de Mijas, often just referred to as La Cala, is a beautiful Spanish village, right at the heart of Mijas Costa, which has effortlessly stepped into the 21st century without losing any of its traditional fishing village charm. It has a lively, bustling town centre with a twice-weekly market, supermarkets, bars, restaurants and every amenity you could ever wish for. It’s perennially popular with increasing numbers of holidaymakers and is home to foreign residents from a range of different countries, including the UK and many other European countries. La Cala de Mijas is in a perfect position to enjoy an enormous range of leisure facilities. Active retirees particularly love the area for its great combination of easy-going traditional Spanish charm and the wide selection of sporting activities in and around La Cala. The area is famous for its wealth of competition standard golf courses, including the magnificent La Cala Hotel and Golf Course Resort which is the biggest golf complex in Spain and has three of its own courses. La Cala Resort also has a luxury golf hotel, an exclusive spa. In the hills just behind La Cala you can enjoy horse riding. Although if you simply enjoy a night of family entertainment watching the horses why not try the “Hipodromo del Costa del Sol”, which is situated just on the outskirts of La Cala village. One of the reasons that La Cala de Mijas is so popular is its versatility. Choose from beautiful, tranquil countryside, exquisite beaches or cosmopolitan towns, some within walking distance, most just a short drive away. There’s excellent road and public transport access from La Cala to all other parts of Mijas Costa and it’s just five minutes drive from cosmopolitan Fuengirola with its medieval castle, Blue Flag beaches and stylish shopping. A 10-minute drive into the hills behind La Cala takes you into some of the most picturesque countryside in the area where there are a variety of stables offering riding lessons and trekking, so that you can enjoy an invigorating canter in breathtaking surroundings. All of this is truly wonderful and explains a lot about the area and why people want to be in La Cala but why not just choose nearby Miraflores or Calahonda, well the answer to that question is the village of La Cala hasn’t been overbuilt like the rest of Mijas Costa and you can walk to the Village and Beach and just generally has a relaxed feeling that you don’t get in such areas like Miraflores and La Cala and this is reflected in the property prices where a 3 bedroom apartment can be as much as €75,000 Euros more than nearby towns” Explained Susana.
So why the price differentials between La Cala and the other surrounding towns and Villages. Well in reality it’s about La Cala not being overbuilt the way the other towns are and the fact that La Cala in unique.

sucre? that's an avenue…. i dont even know where you actually are, because sucre has many blocks, and there are two many combis, custers, and buses but not all of them go thru sucre, some buses you will be able to catch them close to sucre
however the best thing would be a taxi cab, they are not that expensive

Well, I don't know how much it would be, but the costs are a LOT cheaper in Peru. I had my C-section there. The doctors and nurses are more attentive to you. I know that just a doctor's visit is usually between 20 and 50 soles (7 and 15 dollars).
Also if you're just curious and want to know, for example, your glucose and cholesterol levels which cost 5 soles each ($1.50), you don't need to first go to the doctor, then get a doctor's referral, wait a week for results and all of that. (I got my results the next day, depending on which tests you ask for.) You just go straight to the lab people. You don't need prescriptions for things either. If you know what you want to get, you go to the pharmacy and get it that easily.
Some doctors probably would speak English there. Prices vary depending on which private clinic you go to.

impossible, you need to take a flight to cuzco, from there take a train to machu picchu. flight time is around 1 hour, train time around 4 hours, so you get the idea =/ besides, going for 1 day to such magnificent place? get at least 4 days , there is more to see in cuzco than Machu Picchu,

You could take an airplane from Miraflores to Cusco. From here you should take the train to Agua Calientes which is a more touristic solution than a local service. From here you can decide weather to walk the Inca trail, which is gorgeous but takes more time, or hop on the bus to Macchu Picchu. I'll send you a link to a blog where the trip is described completely with pictures, for example of the train and more information on prices!

First of all Miraflores, Lima and Peru are very different places which you might be use to in America. If you expect to find a lot of similarities, then I would suggest to stay at home. If you are looking for a change and can adapt easily to a new environments and a new way of life, then proceed.
Miraflores is considered one of the nest districts in Lima. It houses most of Lima's 5 start hotels, best restaurants and shopping centers. It borders another popular district, San Isidro, considered Lima's financial district. Both this areas are very popular with tourists and ex-pats.
Housing in this areas will be more expensive than other areas in Lima, specially because of it's popularity with ex-pats.
Overall, everything else will pretty much be the same through out Lima in regards to cost of living, attitude towards Americans, employment opportunities.
However, regarding employment it is not easy for a non-Spanish speaking foreigner to get a good job in Lima. The unemployment rate is quite high and there is a lot of competition for good jobs. It will depend a lot on contacts your girl might have that can open doors for you. Most Americans I have known that lived in Lima usually worked as English teachers, translators or for American based companies.
Food is great, as long as your palate likes to adventure beyond McDonalds and BurgerKing.
Finally, to the guy that answered that Peru is close to communism, I would ask him to please respond to subjects he has knowledge of. Today, Peru is far from being a communist/populist country and the current goverment has distance themselves from Chavez's and has good relationships with the USA and Europe.

Peru: un pais de esperanza, un pais de una voluntad inquebrantable, ese es mi pais.

On a recent trip to Peru a month ago, I used two different ATM's in Miraflores.
I was given the exchange rate of 3.00. This was also the exchange rate I was given by the money exchangers that stand on the street corner. They advertise 3.05 however you will never get it. They always come up with some kind of excuse.
Both ATM's charged me a $3.50 service fee which was later refunded by my bank in the USA (It's their standard procedure to refund ATM fees.)
You might as well get Soles from the ATM since if you get USD you'll have to exchange it for soles anyway.
Another word on exchanging money – Make sure the bills you are exchanging are in perfect shape – no tears and no markings, otherwise they won't accept them. Be careful exchanging USD on the streets, there is also a lot of conterfiet Nuevo Soles floating around.
