had a bumpy ride; since it's conception in circa 1986 it has been plagued
with recession, bad management, fraud and in-house mistrust.

to Marbella Airport it was just that one stop too far for continental
European interest.
The construction of the last section of the E15, Spain's Coastal Highway,
and a new Hotel/ Resort complex by the German Karstadt Neckermann group
has changed the fortunes of Alcaidesa dramatically.
Alcaidesa has a mixture of “pueblo” style town houses and individual
villas by the beach their Architectural Control Committee ensures that
careful design maintains the aesthetic qualities and preservation of
traditional Andalusian architecture.
An additional area of 3.6 square kilometers which extends inland from the
main road, borders a nature reserve administered by the Regional Forestry
Board.

Golf", only 8 miles from Gibraltar and very close to
