Marbella's motto is "A Way of Life"
and, certainly, this luxurious resort town seems to have it all
and is, once again, rising to the fore as a favourite location with
the rich and famous, as well as more ordinary folk who are willing
to pay just a little bit extra for southern Spain's answer to St
Tropez.
Not too long ago, Marbella sharpened
its image still more thanks to a considerable investment initiated
by the town's colourful and controversial late mayor, Jesus Gil
which resulted in a massive landscaping drive.
 But
Marbella has a down to earth side as well, an air of individuality
which can be best appreciated by exploring back streets in the old
part of town. One of the prettiest places is the fabled 'Orange
Square' which is located just off the main street in the older district
and is also home to the 16th century town hall and tourist office
where you can pick up a detailed map and visitor information.
Your visit might very well inspire you to consider
living in Marbella, if so click here
for an introduction to the neighbourhoods that make this such a
charming place to live.
Back to Orange Square, or "La Plaza de los
Naranjos", as it is called in Spanish, expect to meet with
stately buildings, small shops, art galleries, bars and bistros
and is a hub of activity day and night. And, depending on the time
of year, the colours here can be vibrant, with the trees and exotic
tropical plants set against a backdrop of dazzling white buildings
and a deep blue sky.
Be sure to explore the honeycomb of surrounding
narrow streets where homes and shops intermingle to create the atmosphere
of a small village, rather than a cosmopolitan town. There are numerous
excellent restaurants to choose from, ranging from those specialising
in the predictably pricey exclusive cordon bleu to the gritty individuality
of a backstreet Spanish bar where the Serrano ham is gently cured
by tobacco smoke and the tapas are both tasty and filling.
Back towards the coast is the La Alameda park where
you can book your personal horse and carriage to travel in style
or, if you prefer, stroll on towards the sea along the Avenida del
Mar. This is arguably one of the most delightful promenades on the
costa, flanked by classy restaurants and bars and mercifully free
of concrete skyscrapers, glass bottom boat trips, imported shells
and I love .... T. Shirts that are fast bringing a sameness to coastal
resorts, whether they be in Pathos, Cyprus or Portimao, Portugal.
From Guadalalmina to Cabopino, the Marbella coastline
stretches along some 26 kilometres of sunny beaches bathed by the
Mediterranean and where you can enjoy traditional fish and seafood
favourites like sardines on a spit, fried fish and the incomparable
paella. There are also two large parks in Marbella which provide
some welcome shade to spend some time with a book. The amphitheatre
at Constitution Park (once the garden of a private residence) is
frequently used for concerts and plays in the summer. Casinos, clubs
and just about every sporting activity under the sun, few places
can match Marbella for world class tennis, sailing and golf. There
are also three pleasure craft harbours here.
However for the ultimate in coastal charisma
it would be hard to beat Puerto Banus,
just west of the town. This is the place to be pampered yachtside
and watch the world go by or window shop at one of several of the
world renowned fashion houses and boutiques. The port has grown
considerably over the years and now includes a casino, commercial
shopping centre, El
Corte Ingles department store, marine observatory and a multi
cinema with films shown in their original soundtrack. The nightlife
is buzzing here with alfresco bars, piano clubs and discos which
are open dusk until dawn.
