Things to Do in Marbella, Marbella, Spain

Marbella is a fairly small – albeit popular –town in the Malaga province of Spain. If you’re just stopping by for a day or two, that’s plenty of time to see a good bit of city center and the coast. But a longer stay is warranted if you’re looking for a relaxing time on the beach. Whether you’re staying a few days or a few weeks, these are the things to do in Marbella when you’re not frolicking in the ocean.

The Marbella Promenade is a stunning 7.5 mile seaside walk that takes you past shops, bars, restaurants, and is dotted by breezy beaches of the sandy and rocky variety. Even if you’re not the beach type, who doesn’t love sitting down against a backdrop of palm trees and waves crashing against the shore with a nice cocktail? Of course, all these places are touristy and tapas will be a little pricey compared to the rest of the city, but the sunset views will probably be worth it.

Along the promenade you’ll find some local sights including the Faro de Marbella, the 1st Century Puente Romano, the Marbella Marina, and close to hundreds of bars and lounges where you can get your beach party on. The boardwalk is also an amazing stop if you happen to be in the market for fake luxury bags. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
