History of Nueva Andalucía

Nueva Andalucía was developed in the 1960s by the visionary businessman and property developer, José Banús. Originally agricultural land, Banús saw the potential to create a luxury residential area that would attract wealthy individuals, particularly from Northern Europe.

The development was centred around high-end villas and prestigious golf courses, including the renowned Real Club de Golf Las Brisas, which became a major draw for affluent residents and tourists.
