Nueva Andalucía is a charming neighborhood located in the west of the municipality of Marbella, Spain. It stretches over several square kilometers and has transformed into what is now known as the Golf Valley, featuring some of the most remarkable golf courses on the Costa del Sol, such as Aloha Golf Club, Los Naranjos Golf Club, and Real Club de Golf Las Brisas.
