Marbella - the classiest resort in Spain
Marbella is often called the jetset resort of Spain, the California of Europe, the place where the rich and famous hang out, especially in the super chic marina of Puerto Bánus. The sun shines 320 days per year and there is something for everyone, young or old.
Don't miss the picturesque Old Town (Casco Antiguo), opposite shady Parque Alameda and the marble walkway to the beach with statues by Salvador Dali.
Marbella Views
Some of my own photos from Marbella
Marbella is known for the famous jet-set marina of Puerto Banus but also has its own marina in town and another fishing port/marina, el Puerto Pesquero.
There are children's playgrounds on the beaches and throughout town, especially in Parque de la Constitución and Parque Arroyo de la Represa, also home to Europe's only Bonsai Museum.
