Der Wachturm Torre del Velerin aus dem 16. Jahrhundert steht noch immer an der Flussm\u00fcndung und wacht \u00fcber dieselbe K\u00fcstenlinie, an der heute bewachte Anlagen mit direktem Strandzugang und Meerblick bis nach Gibraltar entstanden sind. Es ist eine ruhigere, st\u00e4rker residential gepr\u00e4gte Ecke der New Golden Mile, gelegen zwischen zwei B\u00e4chen, die von der Sierra Bermeja herabflie\u00dfen.<\/p>\n<h2>A Quiet Residential Pocket Between River, Tower and Sea<\/h2>\n<p>Das Gebiet hat zwei unterschiedliche Seiten. Die urspr\u00fcngliche Barriada liegt auf der Bergseite der K\u00fcstenstra\u00dfe, w\u00e4hrend die Meeresseite modernen Anlagen mit niedrigerer Bebauungsdichte gewidmet ist, bewachten Strandkomplexen wie Bahia del Velerin und neueren Projekten wie Velaya, viele mit direktem Zugang zum Strand. Das verleiht El Velerin das Gef\u00fchl eines Stadtviertels eher als eines Ferienstrips, selbst an der New Golden Mile.<\/p>\n<h2>Was ist El Velerin?<\/h2>\n<p>El Velerin ist ein kleines Stranddorf an der New Golden Mile von Estepona, auf der Ostseite der Stadt in Richtung San Pedro de Alc\u00e1ntara und Marbella. Es verdankt seinen Namen dem R\u00edo del Velerin und dem Wachturm Torre del Velerin aus dem 16. Jahrhundert nahe der Flussm\u00fcndung und liegt zwischen zwei B\u00e4chen, die von der Sierra Bermeja herabflie\u00dfen: dem R\u00edo del Velerin und dem Arroyo de las Ca\u00f1as.<\/p>\n<p>Property ranges from in erster Strandlinie apartments and Reihenhauss to a handful of villas and rustic plots inland.
