What to see in Marbella Page 2

Puerto Banús MarinaMarilo Marb: Since the 70s, Marbella has had the best-known port in Spain and one of the most well known in the world,

Puerto Jose Banus, which owes its name to its promoter. In the 70s, Prince Alfonso de Hohenlohe commissioned the renowned

architect Noldi Schreck for the project of the Beach Club Hotel Marbella Club and as a result of this work, he came into contact

with D. Jose Banús, who in turn was commissioned to build an typical fishing village in the beach area of Nueva Andalucia. The

Puerto Banus has been a resort of luxury for years now, the most luxurious shops and world-renowned designers (Dior, Gucci,

Versace, Vuiton.. etc) have appeared here. You can also see the most spectacular yachts and the "beautiful people" in the bars

and restaurants. Although it has long since lost some of its original splendor, you can still see Ferraris, Lamborghinis and yachts

almost as big as the famous "Navilla" but also there are also places like Macdonalds and Chinese, blending with the luxury

brands and almost "insulting" them during these times of crisis.

Marilo Marb: Puerto Banus has two beaches. The first, in the area of Nueva Andalucia, is called Pla a del Duque, and the

3Squares

Plaza de los Naranjos

Almudena: This square is in the historic centre of

Marbella. It was built in 1485, following the conquest ofMarbella by King Ferdinand the Catholic. It was built in

imitation of the Castilian squares, though it doesn't have

arcades. It's surrounded by typical white houses and a

Renaissance fountain. The town hall is now located here, as

well as the tourist office and a lot of restaurants that make the

square very lively. The square is surrounded by orange trees,

hence the name. It's a must see.

Plaza de los naranjos, Marbella, Marbella

Beaches

Nikki Beach

Gonzalo Moreno: At the height of Don Carlos hotel, thisbeach is one of the few in Marbella that's saved from the

crowds. There's a bed area and dance music playing. Many

people leave their boat in front of the beach, the music is

heard well into the sea. You have to pay to access the bed

area (although not always). This area of beds can only be

accessed by paying (not always). In short, good music, many

posh and good looking men and women, good food and

above all...a stoneless beach in Marbella.

Avenida del Mar

Marilo Marb: A few years ago, what is now Avenida delMar, used to be a small park with albero floor, benches and a

fountain that led to the Marbella promenade. Today, it has

changed its appearance adapting a more modern feel, but is

still a prelude to the sea. The avenue connects to Alameda

Park (another iconic site) with a new promenade. The floor is

marble and in the central area, there are interspersed

pergolas, fountains and a collection of sculptures designed by

Salvador Dali cast in Bonvicini bronze in Verona. There are

restaurants, bars and one of the hot spots, The Buddha Bar,

along the sides.

Playa de la Fontanilla

Wyly_fox: This is a very clean and well maintained beach.

It has free bathrooms and free showers that are also very wellmaintained. There's a great variety of bars, pubs and

restaurants along the promenade. It's relatively easy to park,

with patience and a little luck, you can find a free spot not in a

blue zone. Good atmosphere for different ages.

Marbella Old Town

naxos: Marbella, among other things, has a really

beautiful old town. It is as if someone had built a small

Andalucian whitewashed houses in a modern city. Naturally it

is just the opposite, concrete block without much taste

surrounding a well-preserved historic center. The fact is that

the old part of Marbella is a tremendously walkable place,

during the day and especially at night. When night hits, the

squares fill up, especially the Patio de los Naranjos which is

filled with terraces. Then a little later, the surrounding bars fill

8Nightclubs

Olivia Valere

Gonzalo Moreno: Some say it's a tacky, other say thatOlivia Valere is the best club in Europe. After so many years

listening to comments on this site you can't, if given the

opportunity, waste the occasion. I won't spoil it by talking

about numbers, only to tell you that I didn't pay to get in. It

really is a spectacular nightclub, striking in every way. The

decoration is based on the Alhambra in Granada, giving it a

special touch to certain parts of the club. I'm talking about

parts because the club is so big. Basically we can divide it

into three parts. The entrance area to the disco, for me the

most beautiful, the restaurant, called Babylon (I have not

eaten it) and dance area. There's a spectacular terrace where

you can smoke a hookah. It's notable because many of the

songs are performed live, yes, you heard right, the typical

house song that comes to mind is sung by a singer

accompanied by the saxes and some percussion instruments.

Parque Arroyo de La Represa

Paola Alvarez: On Monday I discovered this parkinadvertently while walking in the rain. I had planned to enjoy

a winter afternoon listening to the water supplier and

snapping ducks in the water. The location of the park and the

environment seemed ideal. I wonder how old the park is and

ve the designer was, thanks for reading.

10Shopping Malls

La Cañada Shopping Centre

Marilo Marb: Although it is best to buy in Marbella, youcan go through the streets to the center and enjoy the

atmosphere as well as the climate. Another option for a day of

shopping is to go to La Cañada shopping center, where a

problem of the city is eliminated...The car park is free as the

shopping center has ample space. inside the shopping center

there are shops of almost every fashion brand, restaurants,

tapas bars, a big chain supermarket, bowling alley, cinema,

gym, DIY shops, animal shops and terraces with bars where

you can have a soft drink while you enjoy the sun...The ever

present sun in Marbella.

Beaches

Playa de Elviria

pjgarcia: Elviria Beach is close to the town of Marbella inthe province of Malaga. It's very large, very friendly and

inviting for swimming, since it's not very deep, but will still

cover you. It's well maintained and not at all crowded. Besides

myself, the last time I visited, I enjoyed the most spectacular

sunrise that I've ever seen. That's what I hope you can

appreciate from one of the photos.

Puerto Cabopino Beach & Marina

Marilo Marb: In the municipality of Marbella, forty

kilometers from Malaga airport is Puerto Cabopino, with 170

berths at Latitude: 36 ° 29 '2 "N, longitude: 004 ° 44' 4" W.

The port has services including toilets and showers, water,

11Churches

Capilla de San Juan de Dios

Almudena: Located in the old town, in the middle of many

shops and a lively area, this chapel used to be part of theRoyal Mercy Hospital named after St. John of God. The

hospital was founded by the Catholic Monarchs in the 15th

century, although the chapel came later in the 16th century.

It's very simple and in its interior, there is a Mudejar coffered

ceiling.

12Churches

Santo Cristo del Calvario Church

Marilo Marb: After the Church of the Incarnation in

Marbella, one can say that this is the 2nd most visited churchin the city. Its style is totally different as it was built and later

blessed and opened for worship in 1976. Calvary Church was

built at the foot of the old 18th-century chapel. The building is

modern and the most remarkable of its interior are some

beautiful stained glass windows and beautiful icons. Masses

are performed every day at 19.30 h. Holidays: 10.00 h. The

Holidays: 10.00 h., 11.00 h. (International Mass) - 12.00 and

13Bars

Astral Cocktail Bar

Marilo Marb: If you want to feel like a corsair overlooking

the sea while sipping a delicious cocktail, you must go toAstral Cocktail Bar in Puerto Banus. From the start of the

Port, at the first entry, after the "Russian statue" you can

make you the 8 meter mast and it's white sails as this bar is is

orginial because it's designed as a sailboat. The specialty

cocktails are made with fresh juices and premium brand

liquors, and while you taste, you can also see various shows

and live music on the terrace that's full of plants and stunning

views of the Mediterranean Sea. Astral Cocktail bar opens

from noon until dawn, being an ideal place to enjoy the warm

summer nights in Marbella.

Parque de la Constitución

Marta Pilar: Framed by thick vegetation and manicuredgardens, I found a joyous and colourful playground in this

park. It has swings, various sized slides, and small houses, all

made of heat resistant material and soft edges to prevent

children from hurting themselves. In the shade of its leafy

trees, there are comfortable wrought iron benches where

adults can sit, like grandparents ve read the newspaper while

their grandchildren play. It's in the Park of the Constitution.

You can get more information from the Marbella Tourist

Office in Plaza de Los Naranjos.

15Sports-Related

Skate Park in Parque Arroyo de la

Represa

Marilo Marb: Arroyo de la Represa sports center, is in the

park of the same name, although for reasons of space and

because it's better designed for the walking through the

wooded areas than for sport. The sports center is very small,

with only two paddle courts, a tennis court and a circular track

for practicing Skater-Board and skating. This track is always

quite busy with skaters doing thousands of tricks on ramps

intended for this purpose. A good place to have fun, but the

City would have to have it more secure to prevent things such

as graffiti or non-use of the bins.

Avda Maiz Viñals, Marbella

16Cinemas

CineSur Plaza del Mar

Marilo Marb: Another option for fun in Marbella, is to go tothe Movies. Marbella has several cinemas. One is Cinesur,

located in the Centro Plaza del Mar in turn at Avenida de

Camilo José Cela. Cinesur has 8 rooms, which over the last

week projected successes of the billboard. The rooms have

different sizes, but one thing in common is the comfort of their

armchairs. Wednesday is the day of the viewer, so the ticket

price is reduced.

17Bus Stations

Marbella Bus Station

Marilo Marb: You'll find Marbella bus station in Avenidadel Trapiche. When built it was a modern, functional building,

although given the recent influx of tourism, it is now rather

small and outdated for a city like Marbella. It used to stand at

the end of Avenida Ricardo Soriano in the centre of Marbella,

but there was too much congestion from the buses coming

and going every day, so it was relocated a little bit away from

the city centre. The station has a fourteen platforms, a

shopping area, restaurant, playground, supermarket and

cafe, as well as a small waiting room. The Marbella - Malaga

line has an express bus, which takes about 45 minutes and

the fare is 6,90. Coaches link to the city center and Malaga,

18Beaches

Playa de la Bajadilla

Marilo Marb: This beach in Marbella has been and

continues being one of the busiest in the city, perhaps due tothe town center and also for its width and shallow waters,

making it deal for children. The beach also adjoins another

very busy beach, Cable Beach, which was named for the now

defunct wire carrying a pile where once the boats loaded the

mineral from the mines in Marbella. The sand is rather coarse

and dark, the beach is approximately 800 meters long and 50

meters wide with showers and public toilets, bins, hammocks

and parasols, maritime rescue service and first aid, as well as

lifeguards during the summer season. There are 3 beach

bars and due to the proximity to the fishing port you have the

option of eating in taverns where you can eat freshly caught

fish at a good price.

Calle San Ramón , Marbella

19Football Fields

Estadio Municipal de Marbella

Marilo Marb: Marbella boasts several sports

endowments, although it is best known for having the footballfield with natural grass where the local team plays on a

garden of crystals. Music concerts are held here too due to its

large capacity. The site also has an athletics track, with tartan

surface with five blocks and rope straight 6 375 meters, as

well as Jumping pit, dressing rooms, nursing, media room,

living, changing rooms and the offices of the UD Marbella.

Sports activities that can be practiced are football and

athletics, and hours are Monday to Friday from 8.30 to 22.00

and on Saturdays and Sundays depending on matches and

training. Being very central, a problem is parking.

Where to eat in Marbella Page 5

El Balcón de la VirgenGonzalo Moreno: If you're someone who thinks that restaurants targeting tourists are inevitably bad, then El Balcon de la

Virgen is sure to change your mind. Let me explain how to get there first: park in the parking lot at the Alameda (not too

expensive, and will save you a bit of trouble in high season). Then head up to the old town - a great walk through some really

charming streets, past the gleaming white houses. When you reach Calle Virgen de los Dolores, if you're not used to this kind of

environment, you're sure to be left open-mouthed at the beauty ahead of you. As you get closer, you'll see a sign announcing that

you've arrived at a restaurant. Of course, you think, this must be a bit of a tourist trap - its decor could hardly be anything else,

right? But the great staff and excellent menu will soon convince you otherwise. Pablo, who served us, was friendly and

welcoming, with a warm Argentinian accent. It was immediately clear to us that we'd found a person who really loves his job. The

menu is excellent. For starters we had Cantabrian anchovies, which were very good indeed, followed by a selection of seafood for

two. In fact, it was more fish than anything else - there were four prawns, but other than that, we had sea bass, sea bream and

salmon, all grilled, and EXCELLENT! We had more fish to follow. The only criticism I could possibly make is that there was

La Moraga

Marilo Marb: For tapas and enjoy the wonderful cuisine of

chef Dani García, in a more casual and a little more "fixed"price, I recommend "La Moraga Iberica". La Moraga is next to

the Hard Rock and before the Corte Ingles of Puerto Banus,

so based on these markers, it should be pretty easy to find.

The restaurant features simple décor and the style resembles

The Moraga Malaga, as it has few tables and comfortable bar

stools, a large windows to give the feeling of more

spaciousness. Normally weekends are very popular so it is

not unusual to have to wait for table. One of the waitresses

will take note and give you a time that your table can be

ready (be careful not to be away when your time is called or

you will have to wait again). Regarding the food I cannot say

anything bad about Dani Garcia, ve has a Michelin star at his

Restaurant Calima ... but if I'm honest this time I felt a little

disappointed with the spine found in a cod fritter and egg

La Taberna del Pintxo

Almudena: The main things are hot and cold snacks. Youchoose the cold ones by going to the bar and the waiters

carry the hot ones to every table. You keep the small sticks

and at when you finish, they're counted and you pay. Prices

depend on the type of stick. It is a mixture of Basque and

southern Spain cuisine. There rations, but casseroles

skewers stand out. I think the hot ones are more worth while

because the cold oness are more normal, though no worse,

but the hot ones... It's like the sunflower seeds, once you start

you can't stop.

Sabor Ibérico

Almudena: It is a tavern-restaurant where you can order

tapas and portions off the menu, and they also have sweetand savory crepes (certainly not their specialty). It is located

right on the promenade, opposite the marina, and next to the

lighthouse. It is usually pretty full, so at first I thought it would

be nice, but it must be due to the affordable prices, as the

food is average.

famous destination of famous people that come to spend the

summer on the coast and Suite del Mar. the beach bar is

super exclusive in the Hotel Puente Romano and is one of the

sites where the celebrity is in tune. Really, the term "stall",

La Lonja

Almudena: La Lonja is a great restaurant and, as theportions are big enough to share, you end up getting a great

value for your money. The shrimp patties are delicious, as

are squid, prawns and crayfish...in fact, everything we had

was great! It's quite a large place with a big terrace, but go

early as it's almost always full.

Taberna Casa Curro

Marilo Marb: One of the places you should not miss inyour gastronomic tour of Marbella, is the Taberna Casa

Curro. It has a great atmosphere, the tradition Andalusian

cuisine is delicious, and the products use to make the food

are top quality. The best dishes are all related to the province

of Cadiz, from Huelva there are delicious prawns, Barbate,

Chiclana rinds etc., all accompanied by the magnificent wines

from the extensive cellar. To "get" even more if it fits in the

Andalusian atmosphere, the restaurant is decorated with

bullfighting posters of songs and the background music is the

typical "flamenco". Comparing to other places, the prices here

are about average.

Hermanos Haro

Marilo Marb: This place is one of the most popular inMarbella, providing good service and quality since 1956. The

poolside snack bar is on Venus Beach (the beach is named

after the sculpture of a woman doing water skiing) and its

specialty is grilled sardines, along with an extensive menu of

seafood, paellas and typical local dishes. The clientele is

mainly local but there are also some tourists, ve are

increasingly attracted to the skewers and the beach. There

are deckchairs and a beach bar serving drinks. The average

price is usually around 25 Euros per person. It is open seven

days and they occasionally stay open through nights in the

summer for festivals(such as San Juan).

Cappuccino Marbella

Almudena: It is at the end of Hotel Meliá Don Pepegarden, right on the promenade. It's phenomenally located as

it is a fairly quiet area of Paseo. It's quite a small menu and

the quality, quality and presentation of this place is pretty

average, but it is on the terrace and when it's bad weather

there's a covered area.

Bar Diamante

Marilo Marb: Although this bar/restaurant isn't in the

centre of Marbella, it's very well-known, not only by locals butalso by Spanish and foreign tourists. In addition to a varied

menu of seafood and meat, they offer great prices and good

service. Its location is near the Marbella football pitch, off the

ring road. I recommend the "zarzuela de la casa" (you can

choose which fish or shellfish you want), and the "lagrimitas

de pollo" (strips of chicken marinated and fried). Go early at

the weekend or on holidays, because later it'll be impossible

to find a table.

Tai Pan

Gonzalo Moreno: Certainly the best Chinese restaurant

I've been to, and one of the best Asian restaurants. Book wellin advance, particularly if you're planning to go in high

season. If you call far enough ahead, you should ask for an

outdoor table (much better). Located in the Puente Romano

neighbourhood, next to the hotel, this restaurant has been

open for more than 25 years. You can't leave without trying

the Peking duck. This last time also we ordered steamed

scallops, and they were delicious. The atmosphere of the

place is 10/10. In short, it is a perfect place for a dinner with

friends, a romantic dinner or a family dinner.

Restaurante La Bartola

naxos: Fresh fish grilled on the beach. The bars on the

beach are an institution in Marbella and frankly, a greatpleasure, especially when the summer heat rages. Most are

near the old town, in the Playa de la Fontanilla and are quite

similar, with tables on the sand and fresh fish at reasonable

prices. The local specialty is the "spit" which consists of

stringing the fish (usually sardines) on a skewer and putting it

on the grill. Fast, simple and natural. And delicious :-) There

are five or six bars of this nature on the beach. I recommend

that you are simply guided by smell and choose your place on

this basis. Our noses led us to "The Bartolo" and I can say

that we left quite satisfied.

Mamma Gina

Marilo Marb: This Italian restaurant is next to the Palacio

de Ferias y Congresos (Conference Centre). Although it hasa varied menu, the best dishes are pasta, as they prepare the

fresh pasta themselves. You'll often see groups of

businessmen holding business lunches here, but it's also

popular with bachelor parties, communions, etc. The

restaurant is quite spacious, and has two terraces (one

covered), making it a great spot to enjoy not only the food but

also the weather of Marbella. They offer a daily menu with a

variety of dishes from Monday to Friday, open early until late.

Amare Marbella Beach Hotel - Adults

David Carrero: I'm not just talking about the event I went

to at the weekend and since I arrived at the hotel everyone

was kind and great facilities. Upon arrival they didn't offer a

toast with champagne,neither do we see as the most normal

thing in the world. but we liked the idea. The rooms are large

and very comfortable. Although I did unplug things for the

mac and mobile. In the morning breakfast was varied and

rich. And the room was suitable, although sometimes the wifi

was too slow. And the attention for twitter @ fuertehoteles

was unbeatable too :)) Needless to say that I more than

recommend it :)

Gran Meliá Don Pepe

BeaBurgos: The hotel, located in the heart of Golden Mileis to the left of the beach, close to the historical center and the

most popular promenade of Marbella. I love the huge pool

and gardens and one of my favorite places of the hotel is the

terrace on the sea: the Cappuccino, with jazz, lounge and

music day and night, plus free wireless interent. The hotel

has its own sun chairs on the beach, but once you see the

pool, you won't even want to go to the beach. It's one of the

most famous hotels in the Costa del Sol and this is due in

large part to its excellent service, comfortable rooms and its

facilities.

The Westin La Quinta Golf Resort & Spa

Enma: I didn't personally know this hotel. It wasn't onethat first caught my attention since the people that usually go

there are mainly golfers or people with money and I'm not part

of either group, so it wasn't to my liking. But for different

reasons I ended up staying there and the truth is I was

enthralled, without doubt I'll go back and not that they've just

opened their spa, I'm definitely going back. Hotel rooms

Westin La Quinta are amazing, there are different categories,

I was in a so-called Deluxe Pool View and loved. On site

facilities are truly wonderful, from the magnificent reception

where exhibitors have luxury items such as handbags by

Channel or tie by Loewe to shoes and handbags, through its

three outdoor pools are huge and super quiet and ending in a

snack bar, the staff are attentive and prepare the best

cocktails in Marbella.
