About Altara Alcaidesa
Anyone searching in La Alcaidesa soon notices that prices are lower than on the Málaga side of the Costa del Sol. Altara Alcaidesa is a good example. The available ground-floor apartment has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 106 m² built, with a 21 m² terrace and a 19 m² garden. The price: €341,000, with completion planned for June 2028.
The complex has 55 homes with 2 or 3 bedrooms, spread across several apartment buildings. Each home comes with a garage space and a storage room in the basement. The communal areas are understated rather than lavish: landscaped gardens, a pool with sun loungers, a gastroteca for cooking and eating together, and parking for golf buggies. That last detail says a lot about who lives here. The whole site is fully fenced and gated.
La Alcaidesa is in the province of Cádiz, in the Campo de Gibraltar. The community straddles the municipalities of San Roque and La Línea de la Concepción. For every buyer, we check which municipality the plot falls under in the land registry, as this determines local taxes among other things.

Altara Alcaidesa in figures
Three figures stand out. First, the price per m²: €3,217, or 27% below the median of six new developments in San Roque (€4,419). That makes Altara one of the most affordable entry points in the municipality. Second, the total cost: with €34,100 VAT, €4,092 stamp duty, €2,000 notary and €4,100 lawyer, you arrive at around €385,292. Third, the timing: completion in June 2028 is 20 months away, whereas other developments in the municipality are ready after 16 months on average. With a 21 m² terrace, the outdoor space is modest. We do not have a reliable comparison with resale homes for this area.

Location
La Alcaidesa is a green, peaceful community between Sotogrande and Gibraltar, built around two golf courses. It is not a town with a centre but a residential area of villas and apartment complexes on a hillside above the sea. The development sits at 117 metres above sea level. For shops, schools, clinics and banks, you drive to the surrounding towns of the Campo de Gibraltar. Here you are closer to Gibraltar and Africa than to Marbella.
Playa de La Alcaidesa is 4 minutes by car or a 29-minute walk (2,183 metres). You reach Sotogrande International School in 7 minutes, and Sotogrande marina and the hospital in La Línea in 16 minutes each. Valderrama is 15 minutes away. Gibraltar airport is 22 minutes away, Málaga airport 86. Puerto Banús is a 46-minute drive.

Sun, light and views
Here the sun rises at 7:04 on 21 June and sets at 21:42, giving 14.6 hours of daylight. On 21 December you still have 9.7 hours, with the midday sun at 30° above the horizon. Altara Alcaidesa sits at around 117 metres above sea level.
According to the description, the terraces overlook the La Alcaidesa golf course. No sea view is listed for this ground-floor apartment; we check on the plans what you will see from the terrace and garden.
Homes and finishes
The available information says little about the finish: the apartment has energy rating B, there is a lift, and the garage and storage room are in the basement. We have not yet seen a specification sheet for this development. Before you reserve, we request the technical specifications and go through with you which kitchen, flooring, climate control and insulation are included. When buying off-plan, we also check the bank guarantee on your stage payments. Ask about the expected community fees too: with a pool, gardens and a gastroteca for only 55 homes, they are shared among few owners.
Payment schedule
As with most new builds on the Costa del Sol, you pay in instalments: a reservation deposit, a portion on signing the purchase contract and during construction, and the balance at the deed signing. Every payment before completion must be covered by a bank guarantee. We will send you the exact payment schedule for Altara Alcaidesa through Privé.

Our honest verdict on Altara Alcaidesa
Strengths
- €3,217 per m², 27% below the new-build median in San Roque.
- Private 19 m² garden with a ground-floor apartment with 2 bathrooms.
- Small-scale complex of 55 homes, quieter than the big resorts.
- Garage space and storage room are included in the price.
- Gibraltar airport 22 minutes away, handy for short stays.
Points to consider
- Completion not until June 2028, so your money is tied up for 20 months.
- No sea view listed for the available home.
- The beach is a 29-minute walk, so in practice you take the car.
- Only one home on the list, so no choice of floor or orientation.
- Little information on the finish; the specifications still need reviewing.
Who is Altara Alcaidesa right for?
Altara Alcaidesa suits golfers and those seeking peace and quiet who want an affordable apartment in green surroundings, with Gibraltar as a quick airport. It is also worth a look if you want a second home for under €400,000 all in. If you expect nightlife, restaurants within walking distance or sea views from the terrace, you are better off looking towards Sotogrande or Manilva.
Why buy through Imagine Marbella?

- Stronger at the negotiating table. Whenever there is room to negotiate, on price, payment schedule, finishes or a parking space, we know the market, the sales figures and the developers. We defend your interests; the seller defends theirs.
- Free extra services. We check licences, bank guarantees and specifications, provide legal support in your own language and plan viewings around your travel dates.

Off market: what you will not find online
Not every property on the Costa del Sol ends up on a website.
Owners who want to sell discreetly, a last penthouse that has not yet been released, a villa that only comes onto the market when the right buyer appears: part of the market changes hands without a single advert. Already know the market and looking for something you cannot find online? Tell us as precisely as possible what you are looking for. If it exists, we will find it for you.
