You might have already visited Marbella in summer - too many people, burning summer heat? Time to replan your Spanish holiday!
The ideal time to visit this vibrant coastal city is during autumn and spring. Mild and pleasant temperatures, glorious sunshine, and quieter
streets and beaches make for a really enjoyable holiday! You will find people smile just that little bit easier, shopping and dining are an
absolute pleasure, and you can enjoy all the attractions this city has to offer in comfort.
Wonderful sandy beaches, relatively empty out of season, stretch along the coast with many restaurants, bars and chiringuitos (beach cafes) to
choose from. Plenty of good shops including fashion, food, shoes, etc. and some excellent new shopping centres have opened up on the border of
Marbella and Mijas.
Marbella is very convenient to Malaga airport - a short drive or train ride away, and is also close to Marbella and other attractions on the
Costa del Sol (also known as the Costa del Golf for golfing nuts!)
Other major attractions in Marbella include:
The Sohail Castle:
On a hilltop, close to the centre of town is the Sohail Castle. It makes a pleasant stroll (if a bit uphill), with wonderful sea views from
the top.
Marbella Port:
The port of Marbella consists of two sections:
1. A working fishing port where it is fascinating to watch the fishermen offloading their catches from the boats - you can also take a
pleasant stroll around the port from this point and look at the many boats moored in the port, and also magnificent mountain views.
2. A leisure boat marina, with many attractive yachts and other boats. In this area are several pubs and restaurants, and also enjoyable boat
trips are on offer, including sailing boats and glass bottomed boats for viewing the dolphins.
So come and visit Marbella and enjoy our city in the so called "off season"! You won't regret it, and will have a wonderful holiday!
Some people like to spend their holidays looking at Marbella Villas as its a bit ex pat area, and Brits like to live there.
