Around Marbella

As we wound down our time in Marbella we reflected on our time spent there.  The town itself is beautiful and one of the clearest places we have ever visited.  The streets and promenade are cleaned daily and there is no litter about. Our hotel was in a perfect location right on the water and the walking possibilities were endless.  Restaurants were plentiful and of high quality with very friendly servers and food was beautifully presented.  The old town was a delightful maze of cobblestone alleyways with small shops and restaurants and as was still early in the season was never crowded.  Marbella was also central on the coast so was a good place to use as a central hub to go touring to other wonderful places in southern Spain.  Definitely a place worth spending some time in!

Beautiful expanses of beach

Fun water cars to use on the beach and water

Fun displays outside shops in old town

Old town square at night

Lovely lit fountain 

Dipping feet in the Mediterranean 

Colourful street parade for Festival with performers of all ages

No floats but costumes galore 

Large groups all coordinated 

Large square with several Salvador Dali sculptures and fountains all down both sides leading down to the promenade 

Sundial on another open square. So many nice places to sit and just watch the world go by

Ornate little balconies on well maintained buildings in old town leading up to a centuries old church

Wonderful green spaces that are so well looked after

Everything is so clean and nice to look at

Was always nice to watch the sunset while sipping on a glass of good Spanish wine 

Goodbye for now. We hope to return in the future for another visit!
