Top 10 Marbella Holiday Attractions
Marbella Casco Antiguo
Marbella Old Town is the perfect place to
walk back and re-live the historic times by visiting the historic fountain and a
chapel built in the 1400s. As you walk along the many narrow streets you will
enjoy shopping at the small interesting shops. This attraction is opened for 24
hours and is free. Have a Mediterranean meal amongst the orange trees.
Puerto Banus Marina
Puerto Banus is the most fashionable resort in
Southern Spain just 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) southwest of Marbella . Cafes,
restaurants and boutiques are clustered around the harbour. The choice of
international restaurants is amazing, with most of them situated right on the
marina with spectacular views. The nightlife in Puerto Banus is incredible, with
a huge choice of alfresco bars, casinos, piano clubs and discos.
Paseo Maritimo
The paseo maritimo is a good place to stroll. There are more than 50 restaurants
and plenty of shops, so you can spend so much time just walking along the beach
promenade. It's just a beautiful place that is lined with palm trees.
Walk the Golden Mile from Marbella to Puerto Banus.
The walk is about 7.6km (4.8 miles) and should take less than 2 hours at a brisk
pace, but with sightseeing it could take a lot more. Fortunately, you will pass
our apartment about half way so you could drop
in for a rest if you happen to be renting it that week.
