What to do in Marbella?
1. Get lost in the Old Town
Touring the historic centre of Marbella is to immerse yourself in the small fishing village that once was. It seems that nothing has changed since then, narrow winding and whitewashed alleys, balconies where bougainvilleas are perched and colorful geraniums hang. Small tapas bars contrast with haute cuisine restaurants, local craft shops mingle with big brands.
2. Have some churros next to the Plaza de Los Naranjos
And the walk through the old town always leads you to the Plaza de los Naranjos and its particular Town Hall, the ideal place to have a few churros in the shade of the orange trees that give it its name. The Churrería Ramón has become a must in the city centre.
3. Running along the promenade
Marbella is an excellent destination for sports lovers, on its promenade runners, cyclists, walkers or skaters meet. Its good weather all year round and the relaxation provided by the sea make it the best place to get in shape. If you are ready to test your fitness, you can walk to Puerto Banús or to the natural Duna de Artola.
4. Have fried ‘pescaíto’ and paella under the Marbella sun.
You haven't been to Marbella if you haven't had some sardine skewers, fried anchovies or a good seafood paella.
5. Take a selfie next to a luxury yacht in Puerto Banus.
It is the emblem of Marbella and has earned it by heart. Puerto Banus is the most glamorous marina in Spain and one of the best known in all of Europe. It is almost impossible to stroll through its streets without taking a picture next to a yacht or sports car.
6. Soak up the sun on the beach of Marbella.
There are beaches for everyone, but of course there are two that you can't miss. The Venus Beach is one of the most crowded and known to wear palm trees
