The Costa del Sol town of Marbella (pronounced mar-BAY-ya) is a popular vacation spot for wealthy Europeans. Its narrow streets, lined with whitewashed buildings has fantastic shopping and restaurants, good nightlife and several acceptable beaches in and near town. Newly built fountains and thousands of trees grace the seaside promenade. Its major fiesta occurs in the middle of June.

Marbella has much to offer the visitor with its endless beaches, numerous golf courses, leisure ports, many and varied restaurants and shops and of course the best hotels to be found in one area on the Costa Del Sol.

Due to its geographical location Marbella enjoys a special micro climate with no harsh winters or uncomfortably hot summers. The sun shines on average for 320 days per year and there are less than 50 rainy days.

Along the coast just south of Marbella is the jet-set resort of Puerto Banus (a small port full of yachts and expensive sailboats). The promenade is lined with restaurants, bars, outdoor cafes, expensive boutiques and arts-and-crafts stores. Go for lunch or dinner or simply to have a drink and people watch. An alternative excursion is Estepona, which has a yacht harbor and lots of nightlife. 280 mi/450 km south of Madrid.

Malaga City is a very interesting place to visit with its cathedral dating back to 1528 when the first stone was laid. Malaga Castle set high above the city is surrounded by an attractive landscape and from the castle walls you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city, the coast and the surrounding mountains. A great way to explore Malaga is by horse and carriage by which method you can sit back and take in the sights.

The hills and mountains surrounding Marbella contain many quaint Andalucian villages and a visit to the town of Ronda will be well worthwhile.
