Why Málaga Province?
Málaga Province has long been one of Spain’s most desirable destinations for international property buyers and those looking to relocate — offering a lifestyle that blends tradition with modernity, from the cosmopolitan energy of Málaga city to the golden beaches of the Costa del Sol and the charming inland villages. Málaga was even ranked the world’s best city for expats by Forbes in 2023 — and the wider province offers something for every lifestyle. The Guadalhorce Valley, which includes Coín and Alhaurín el Grande, is one of the most sought-after areas in the province — with exceptional accessibility, a beautiful natural environment, and a rich mix of traditional Spanish culture, history, and customs alongside a warm, established international community. Young families, remote workers, retired professionals and those seeking an authentic Andalusian lifestyle with easy access to the coast, the mountains and a major international airport all find what they’re looking for here. Whether you’re drawn to the coast, the countryside, a historic town or a rural finca, staying at CFH gives you an excellent central base from which to explore your options at your own pace.
Staying at Cortijo Fruitful Hills while you search puts you in a genuinely useful position. You’re close enough to explore the coast, the city and the inland areas — but in a peaceful rural setting that gives you the headspace to make good decisions rather than rushed ones. The Guadalhorce Valley sits at the heart of one of Málaga Province’s most sought-after areas for relocation — accessible, beautiful and authentic, with a warm mix of established international and traditional Spanish communities.
An exceptional location — rural charm, mountain views and easy access to the coast. A popular choice for those who want the best of both worlds, with a rich mix of Spanish and international communities.

Andrew Allington brings over 30 years of hands-on experience in property development, accountancy, hospitality and management across the UK and Europe — including playing a central role in transforming CFH itself from a neglected hillside cortijo into the estate it is today. Having made the move from the UK themselves, Hazel and Andrew understand the journey first-hand — not just the practicalities, the questions and the pitfalls, but the personal side of uprooting your life and starting somewhere new. That takes courage, and it helps to be around people who’ve actually done it. Andrew is well-connected with experienced local professionals in the area — estate agents, relocation agents, lawyers, business networking contacts, and other essential services — and enjoys having informal conversations with guests who are considering making the move. A two-way exchange between people who’ve been through it and those setting out on the journey.
