Marbella © Spanish National Tourist Board |
Overview: Situated 25 miles (40km) southwest of Malaga, the few miles of
coast between Marbella and Puerto Banus is Spain's answer to Monte
Carlo. Spain's elite, and Britain's more successful felons, have
flashy holiday homes in the surrounding hills, and swanky yachts in
the marina. Marbella is the Costa del Sol's best quality holiday
resort - the restaurants and bars are more stylish (and expensive)
and the town has been spared the worst excesses of concrete
development that have blighted neighbours such as Torremolinos.
The old town of Marbella is hidden away and retains some of its
medieval charm, and has some good clothes shops and restaurants.
The more exclusive Puerto Banus, six miles (10km) to the west, is
where you will find the casino and the seriously large yachts.
Those holiday visitors who drive just a few miles inland, to the
villages in the hills around Ronda, will discover a Spain
completely untouched by tourism with village markets and tapas bars
to be explored.
Nightlife: Marbella's best bars are Ana Marias, Frank's Corner, La Notte Piano Bar and Stones Music Bar. Clubs worth trying while on holiday in Marbella are Olivia Valere, Café del Mar and Oh Marbella.
