There are a lot of Englishmen living in the zone that Hephaestus said, also Calahonda and Atalaya. This all is in Costa del Sol between Fuengirola y Marbella. The zone of Mijas costa is mountaneous so there are houses with good views from there, Fuengirola is quite plain. Also the zone depends on what is important for you to have near - the proximity to the sea for example but the first thing is to decide the budget also regarding the expenses on purchasing - the transfer tax is from 8 to 10%, but normaly all the expenses with all the taxes and the Notary Deed is about 10%...The prices are lower when the home is farer from the beach...now Spain it getting out of crisis and the prices have already grown like 13%. So you decide first the location, if you drive, you might not need a beachfront apartment.
