CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS
What materials are used in top construction projects in Málaga and Alicante?
Málaga (warm Mediterranean climate):
- Traditional + modern: Limestone (piedra caliza), ceramic tiles (roofs/floors), hardwood (terraces).
- Highly modern: Large-format glass (solar), steel-concrete structures, white mineral plasters (stucado).
Alicante (focus on stone):
- Local stone: Marble (Crema Marfil) for stairs/facades, Christmas sandstone (Arenisca).
- Ceramic & modern: Traditional alicatados (coloured tiles), porcelain pool tiles, ventilated facades.
Shared:
- Sustainable technologies (solar panels, HR++ glass).
- Luxury finishes: Natural stone in bathrooms, travertine terraces, composite materials.
Key difference:
- Málaga: Limestone and white plasterwork.
- Alicante: Marble and colourful ceramics.
Both combine local materials with modern techniques for climate resistance.
