Percentages run against 100; the per m² ratio runs against 1.5 times the Marbella median of €8,186/m² (the widest any area reaches, rounded up, so no bar hits the ceiling). Still without a source, so still unscored: distance from the sea it is priced against; brochure language per square metre.

Method and limits
Counted from 57 distinct homes in La Zagaleta asking €3,000,000 or more, drawn from agency and portal listings plus aggregate market tracking and deduplicated by shared reference, price, built area and photograph. 3 are listed by more than one firm at once. 31 of the 57 records come from sources that date individual listings; the remainder lack a verified individual source date and may include catalogue timestamps or observation-only market tracking. Neither establishes when a particular listing was created, edited or still available. Every figure is an asking price, not a valuation. Aggregate tracking figures may have no public record URL, so not every number links to an individual listing. Sub-areas are counted here and on their own pages, so figures do not sum across pages.

Reading the property evidence for La Zagaleta
La Zagaleta is presented here under Benahavís. Start with the individual listings and the sample definition rather than reading the area median as the price of every property in the estate.
The published figures are asking prices from the dated sample. Check the source listing, sample size and measurement notes before drawing conclusions from a median or a change between snapshots. This page does not establish completed sale prices, current availability or the condition of a home.
