Elviria Location
Elviria is located on the Costa del Sol between Marbella and Calahonda. Located on the coast itself, Elviria actually is only 10 kilometres east of Marbella. It is also located only 10 minutes from the beautiful port of Cabopino with its many sophisticated restaurants and bars. This picturesque port offers berthing for many visiting yachts and boats and also boasts some of the best beaches on the coast.
Elviria's central location on the coast means that it is always popular with those looking for a short summer break and to be near the action of the popular holiday resorts such as Fuengirola and Benalmadena, but it is also near enough to the rolling Spanish countryside around Malaga and Marbella, offering gorgeous scenery and peace and tranquility away from the coastline. Property for sale in Elviria attracts those looking for a permanent base in Spain as well as those looking for a summer holiday as well as those looking into making the most of the scenery this stretch of coast has to offer by researching weddings in Spain and making this area the location of their dream day. There is nothing Elviria cannot offer!
Elviria is a mere forty minute drive from the international airport at Malaga. The airport at Malaga provides direct flight service to all major airports throughout the EU with an average flight time from the UK of about two and a half hours.
Around the hills beyond Malaga you will also find fantastic roads that make for enjoyable day trips out away from the coast. El Chorro lakes, about an hour from Elviria comprise 3 magnificent man-made lakes that offer the perfect location for a summer's picnic or a Sunday afternoon drive into the hills. As the region's very own mini Lake District, the El Chorro lakes are a popular tourist destination as they combine wonderful scenery whilst only being a short drive from the beaches. If you enjoy mini breaks in your Cumbrian cottages in the UK and are not sure whether this part of the world will be for you, one day up at the lakes will most certainly convince you that this area has everything imaginable to offer.
The proximity to a major Spanish airport means that during the summer months, Elviria becomes even more alive with a hive of international cultures and languages. English is always widely spoken on this stretch of the coast but you will also find ample opportunity to practise your Spanish with friendly locals and should you need more in depth assistance you can enlist the services of a transaltion agency. Just make sure you are looking for an "agencia de traducción" (translation agency) and not a "agence de traduction" as they are known in France.
A regular bus service ferries tourists along the coast linking many of the major resorts including Fuengirola, Elviria, Marbella and Puerto Banus. The local taxi service is efficient apart from peak summer season when you can expect some minor delays, there is a central rank located right in the village centre of Elviria.
