The economy is flourishing, and employment contracts are on the rise. The high season has had an unseasonable extension, giving seasonal employees a boom also.
Now, 2 huge projects are being planned for the “Garden of the Costa del Sol,” Estepona. La Lobilla will be the biggest shopping centre in Spain. On the back burner since 2008, and largely thought to be dead in the water, La Lobilla looks like it is being revived, pending full analysis and study by the Ministry of Environmental Sustainability of the Junta de Andalucia.
At the same time, “Starlite City” is aiming to be the first city of music in the world on a site in Selwo. This brainchild of Sandra Garcia-Sanjuan, creator of Marbella´s hugely successful summer music festival. “Starlite City” will employ thousands of people in the area, with its various musical events and keep hotels and rental apartments at a high capacity.
