Ciudad Quesada began construction in the 1980s as an urbanisation designed for British buyers. Today, it is arguably the largest British urbanisation in Spain, with approximately fifteen thousand residents of British origin living there permanently or for extended periods. La Marquesa is the oldest area, with villas from the 80s which, in many cases, have had their original installations for twenty or twenty-five years without significant renovations. This leads to a technical peculiarity not found in any other municipality in the area: some homes have installations that mix English standards with Spanish regulations. The original developers adapted UK customs when building here.
