  "account": "Mijas, a picturesque municipality in the Costa del Sol, has emerged as one of the most international real estate destinations in Spain, attracting buyers from 30 different countries in 2025 and 2026, according to Taylor Wimpey España. The town's allure is evident in the stark contrast with other popular coastal destinations like Palma and La Manga, where Spanish buyers dominate the market.\n\nIn Mijas, married buyers aged between 55 and 60 are the most prevalent demographic, accounting for the majority of reservations. The average price for completed reservations across these two years stands at €560,000. However, Spanish purchasers hold a distant fifth place in terms of volume, indicating that the town is attracting a diverse mix of nationalities.\n\nMarc Pritchard, sales and marketing director at Taylor Wimpey España, attributes this wide range of buyer origins to the varied demand for new-build properties along the Spanish coast. While each destination caters to a unique blend of age groups, budgets, and nationalities, Mijas stands out for its cosmopolitan appeal. This trend is not limited to Mijas alone; it reflects a broader pattern across the Costa del Sol, where overseas buyers continue to drive off-plan interest in popular areas like Mijas Costa, Marbella, and Fuengirola.\n\nThe Meadows, one of the two schemes in Mijas, offers townhouses starting from €650,000 with an energy rating of A. Similarly, Solana Village apartments begin at €400,000 with a B rating. These competitive price points, combined with the town's diverse international clientele, make Mijas an attractive option for buyers seeking a cosmopolitan location with a blend of modern amenities and traditional Spanish charm.",
