Description
Marbella is a world-famous seaside resort on the Costa del Sol, which transformed in the 1950s from a modest fishing village into a meeting point for the international jet set. The history of the city is rich and dates back to the Roman and Moorish eras, with the old city walls still embracing the historical charm of the white center. The climate is unique thanks to the protection of the Sierra Blanca, which creates a microclimate with mild winters and summers that rarely become too hot.
Sights are abundant, from the atmospheric "Plaza de los Naranjos" in the old heart to the luxurious marina Puerto Banús with its impressive yachts. The local gastronomy is exquisite and ranges from traditional beach bars where fresh sardines are grilled to numerous exclusive starred restaurants that belong to the world top. For golf enthusiasts, Marbella is a true paradise, as the region is known as the "Costa del Golf" with more than fifteen high-quality courses in the immediate vicinity.
The residents form a cosmopolitan mix of local Spaniards and wealthy international residents who give the city an elegant and diverse appearance. The surroundings offer a beautiful contrast between the azure sea, the green hills of the mountains behind, and the proximity of authentic white villages such as Ojén. Living in Marbella offers many advantages, including an excellent infrastructure, a vibrant social life throughout the entire year, and an unsurpassed quality of life under the Spanish sun.
