MARBELLA TOURIST INFORMATION

For more information on properties within Costa Del Sol please select an area below:

Pinned between the striking La Concha mountain and the sea, Marbella has gained a name for itself as one of the most luxurious and desirable places to live on the Costa del Sol, particularly along the coastal strip to the east whose attractive beaches are set away from the main road. And you certainly have your choice of beaches, with 27km of coastline - divided into 24 beaches - skimming the Marbella municipality and with an average temperature of 19 degrees throughout the year, there's plenty of time to enjoy them.

When you fancy some activity, there are centres for rock climbing, paragliding, canoeing and all sorts of water sports including jet skiing, surfing and sailing, or you can join one of the local adventure company's trips to the beautiful biosphere reserve of the Sierra de Las Nieves Natural Park, zooming among the white villages in a 4x4.

Golf courses are equally prolific, with approximately a quarter of the Costa's courses in Marbella. It is widely regarded as one of the best places in Spain to play with some of the world's best greens, including Los Narajos in Nueva Andalucia, Rio Real, Santa Clara and Santa Maria. Other noteworthy courses are La Duquesa, designed by Robert Trent Jones, El Paraiso, set on a hill leading down to the sea and famous for its water features and La Quinta, home to the former World Champion Manuel Piñero's Golf School.

Before you reach Marbella town, there are a number of residential areas popular with British residents and holiday home owners such as Elviria, Los Monteros, Las Chapas and Cabopino where you will find a high quality campsite with a swimming pool and bungalows. The pretty small harbour of Cabopino is emerging as a popular spot for good quality restaurants serving traditional fish and seafood dishes.

To the west of Cabopino are the chiringuitos (beach bars), a scuba diving school and English bars. And because of the large foreign population who live and work here, there is a full infrastructure to cater for expats, with English schools, doctors, lawyers and social and sports clubs.

Being the most visited resort on the Costa del Sol there are a huge number of hotels in Marbella

For some shady respite in the heart of Marbella town head to Constitution Park, where you can often see bands and plays in summer. Or you can take a horse and carriage around La Alameda park before strolling along the Avenida del Mar to soak up the evening atmosphere.

The rich and famous feel at home in Marbella, in particular in Puerto Banús, the luxurious marina to the west of the town, which is a perfect place to soak up how the other half live... on their yachts.

But there is more to Marbella than glitz and beaches. Head into the backstreets of the original village partially surrounded by the old Arab walls and you will stumble across some beautiful narrow whitewashed streets and historic squares.

Plaza de los Naranjos, which houses the 16th century town hall and 17th century Casa del Corregidor among its attractive shops, art galleries and bars, is the centrepoint of Marbella and so named because of the orange trees that line each side of the square. There are Moorish influences in the architecture, as well as a 15th century Renaissance fountain.

There are far older remnants of history, too, including 3rd century Roman Thermal spas and a Villa Romana and a 9th century Moorish fortress.

Another picturesque place to stroll is Avenida del Mar, the seaside promenade a few minutes by foot from the centre of town.

Every Monday morning, until 2pm, a street market takes over the area around the Recinto Ferial Marbella in the Zona de Las Albarizas, with stalls overflowing with food, flowers, clothes and shoes.

Marbella is also a fantastic place for shopping. La Cañada shopping centre has added a huge new section containing many English high street shops including Dorothy Perkins, Top Shop, Wallis and Miss Selfridge. There is a large FNAC music and book store, a new food hall, a UK-style gym with a spinning hall, crèche, juice bar and a 12-pin bowling centre. The original mall contains popular Spanish shops such as Mango, Zara, Pull & Bear and a range of services such as supermarkets, drycleaners and hairdressers.

For designer shopping, go to Puerto Banús where you find the new Louis Vuitton store, Dolce & Gabana, Christian Dior, MaxMara, Pinko and Custo, the trendy Barcelonan designer, has just opened a boutique here.

There is also a branch of the popular department store Corte Inglés in Puerto Banús with dozens of designer concessions such as Escada, Burberry, Valentino and Versace.
