Sundream Estate sells Marbella apartments or Marbella villas and we don’t rent out cars. So many of our clients who is coming from whole Europe for searching for a property in Marbella this summer have ask us if we also rent out cars, because of there is no cars left at the hire companies in Malaga international airport. The economic crisis is hitting car hire companies on the Costa del Sol and there are just not enough cars to go around. The companies cannot increase their fleets because the banks will not loan money for the companies to purchase cars.

Last year the car hire companies purchased over 18,000 new cars across the industry and this year less than 2000 have been bought a drop of about 89%. As there are not enough cars to go around; the prices per day have rocketed. The bigger companies offer now 100 euros a day for a car. They are resorting to using cars which have up to 200,000 kilometers on the clock and also using private vehicles to bump up their numbers to enable them to meet the client needs.

Some people are raising finance directly from car manufacturers and others are going outside the banking industry to raise funds for new fleets. Even traveling outside Malaga, to find cars is not an option as the problem is the same in most places. Here in Marbella is the problem the same as the rest of Costa del Sol. People are being advised to book their vehicles early or to go to small or medium size companies who are not so badly hit by the problems and also asking the real estate companies who sometime also have hire cars for the clients.

When you flying over Spain a cloudless day, can you see the border to Andalucia. The brown flat country passing over in to hills and mountains, who is totally covered with olives trees. The closer you come to coast in the south, the dryer is the country and then you have come to Costa del Sol. The largest community in Costa del Sol is Malaga and I’m going to tell you everything about Malaga and Malaga community in this and follow articles.

Malaga International Airport is situated between Malaga town and the village Torremolinos, who is the port to Costa del Sol. It is a pity that not more people take time to teach the new Malaga Town, who is bidding for the title of 2016 European Capital of Culture and the new criuser port, who has wide range of archeology, history, art, culture and charming atmosphere with shops, restaurants and bars.

The castle Castillo de Gibralfaro

If you want to know the town, then I recommend you to first drive up to the old and huge Arabic Castle “Castillo de Gibralfaro” situated on the hill and surrounded by palms trees just over the centre, but its note much of the castle left inside the walls. For them who want to see a how an Arabic medieval castle look like, is there no more beautiful place then Alhambra in Granada. However have you a fantastic view over Malaga; the bullfight arena, harbor, beaches, mountains, and the town. Here can you see the town as it is; crowd of people in the city, on the beaches, in the sea with the strong sun and the glittery Mediterranean in the background.

Malaga old history

The town founded by the Arabian from Syrian for over 3.ooo year ago and have always been a strategic imported town because of the two rivers Guadalmedina and Guadalhorce. When is digs anywhere in Malaga, do they always finds remains either from the Romans or the Arabic who ruled Spain from the 7th century to the end of the 14th century. Below Gibralfaro are the Roman Theatre and an archeological museum.
