The town was developed by D. Juan de Orbaneja in 1963,[1] occupying the space between Marbella and Mijas. It is maintained by its owners who manage an annual budget to deal with the maintenance of the common area (sidewalks, asphalt, street lighting, cleaning, cleaning of green areas, plan fire...) by a board consisting of the presidents of various communities. It has more than 27 kilometres of roads, about 7,000 homes, 600,000 square meters of green areas. The predominant population is not of Spanish origin, being composed mainly expatriate Brits, Scandinavians, Germans.

The town was affected by wildfires on September 11 and 12 of 2011, and again in September 2012.[2]

gollark: Cross-origin fixes: *no* use of crossdomain resources unless the other thing opts in. This breaks image hotlinking and such, which is annoying, but fixes CSRF entirely.
gollark: That doesn't really help with the security issues though.
gollark: Maybe a standard interface for external plugins for access to that stuff, so browsers wouldn't need to implement all the APIs individually?
gollark: I'm not sure what to do about the proliferation of random web APIs. On the one hand, exposing USB and graphics cards and stuff *may* be a bad idea. On the other hand, it is a nice application platform still.
gollark: It would also ship with a good document diffing engine built in, so you could write declarative code like people do now with React, but faster and without frameworks.
