Marbella

We love Marbella and spend quite alot of time around Marbella in the Town, Main Street and along the sea front. Theres a lovely promenade to walk along too.

Marbella is both an area and a town! It can be a little confusing but both are worth a visit.

Marbella the area, stretches from Calahonda in the East to just past San Pedro in the west and contains some of the Costa Del Sol and Spain's most expensive real estate! It is just 30 minutes from Malaga Airport, one of the busiest Airports in Spain.

It is increasingly becoming home to more and more UK residents as they search out a new life in a better climate. Costa Del Sol Temperatures are among the best in Europe with 320 days of sunshine.

Here is a quick video about Marbella brought to Malaga Airport Guide by Sol Channel.

 

For sightseeing go to Marbella Town and head for Plaza De Los Naranjos (Orange Square). its a wonderful Spanish Square with a beautiful Town Hall and a Tourist Information Shop for maps etc.

There are also Street Markets somewhere in Marbella almost everyday. If you want a real taste of Spanish life then head for Marbella Town or San Pedro. Both have that "Spanish" touch and you can easily spend a few hours wandering around. One word of advice, many shops in Marbella do take siesta so are closed between 2 and 4.30pm and only only Saturday Mornings.

 

There are lots of Chiringuitos and Beaches along Marbella. Here we provide a guide to some of the Beaches in Marbella and also some of the best beach clubs to go to in Marbella.

Marbella is full of Shops from along the main road, The Old Town and also La Cañada Shopping Centre. Here is a guide to Marbella Shopping. There is such a range of shops from cheap to expensive designer shops and lots of individual boutiques including a new Elle.

There are hundreds of Marbella Restaurants to many to mention in this brief overview of Marbella but needless to say there is every type of restaurant from just about anywhere in the world. Some good, some not so good. Seek out one of the local English Glossy magazines where they have extensive restaurant guides, two titles to look out for are "Essential" and "Absolute Marbella" both are great magazines in their own right and you can find them free in shops and most GOOD restaurants all the way up to Malaga.

 

People love Marbella Nightlifefor its nightlife. Theres something for every age whether you´re 18 or 80. We have often been to clubs where the whole family has been there, from the grandchildren to the grandparents. Its actually really nice to see.

If you are looking for somewhere to stay Marbella offers a whole range of accommodation, not just the expensive stuff! We have compiled a listing of 148 Villas and Apartments along with a Hotel Guide for the only 5 Hotels in Puerto Banus and a selection of 3 Star, 4 Star and 5 Star Marbella Hotels. Some of them with personal reviews. Have a look at Marbella Hotels.

 

Marbella Schools and Education are quite a big topic when living here and also for people thinking of moving here with kids. Theres so much choice, do you go State or Private, Spanish or English, or even German or Swedish. Thers such a choice of schools we are building a new section on Marbella Schools and Education.
