We are all already thinking about warmer days and long daylight hours. The time has come to decide on a destination that has it all: sun, beach, mountains, gastronomic offer and leisure. Does that seem like too much to ask?
Well, we have good news. That destination is on the Costa del Sol and its name is Marbella. The town, known for its great nightlife and its parties, is much more than a showcase of glamour.
Lot of ink have been using writing about the famous Puerto Banús, its many exclusive brand stores and haute cuisine restaurants. A well-deserved fame since it is one of the most attractive areas of the city.
But Marbella also worth a visit beyond the most touristic places. Its old town, an old Arab medina, is a network of narrow streets that reveal to the visitor numerous terraces and restaurants or craft shops. The area born is the so-called Plaza de los Naranjos where the Town Hall is also located, adorned like all the houses in the area, with geraniums and other colorful flowers.
Nearby we have several points of interest such as the Casa del Corregidor or the Ermita de Santiago. Several churches such as Santo Cristo (16th century), located in a square where Andalusian art is breathed, or the revered Iglesia de la Encarnación built on an old mosque, with a baroque-style bell tower and door from 1618. It is a temple of great beauty and from it come the main processions of the city. Another of the historical elements that can be enjoyed is the citadel that fortified the city until the Christian reconquest and that includes Roman traces. If we leave the old town behind and head to the southern area of the center we find the Parque de la Alameda, a classic meeting place for Marbellíes given its location. A huge park of exuberant vegetation that develops around a fountain from 1792.
After enjoying the refreshing shade of this park, we can stroll through Avenida del Mar, part of which houses a permanent exhibition of bronze statues created by the imagination of the great artist Salvador Dalí.And from there we jump to its impressive promenade.
In Marbella the sun shines almost every day, so at any time of the year you can enjoy some beers with the traditional sardine skewers while you get a tan.Late in the afternoon you can’t miss the Puerto Deportivo, the fashionable leisure area, full of bars and terraces where you can have a cocktail or dance until your body lasts. As you can see, Marbella is an ideal city for all audiences. Whether you are a lover of the luxury of Puerto Banús or you are more interested in rediscovering Andalusian culture or the secrets of the Mediterranean Sea, this is your destination.
When it comes to staying overnight, you can also choose a site that has it all. Located very close to Puerto Banús and with ideal connections to the center, BlueBay Banús**** is a hotel built on 28,000 square meters of tropical gardens and that imitates the traditional Andalusian white town. The perfect choice for the whole family. Book your trip to Marbella now and find out why everyone talks about it…
