Located
in the heart of the Costa del Sol, Marbella (beautiful sea
in Spanish) is beyond a doubt the Jewel of the Coast. It
enjoys a central location, being an hour from the British
colony of Gibraltar, a half hour drive from the capital
of Málaga (and its international airport), and just
two to three hours by jet from most European cities. It
also benefits from a culturally significant location on
Europe´s southernmost coast - in the the most Spanish
of provinces - Andalucia. |
| The
birthplace of Flamenco, and modern bullfighting, Andalucia
captures, for many, the true essence of Spain. From its
many local ferias or festivals to its rich cuisine and the
lively spirit of its people, Andalucia is like nowhere else
in the country. Its strong Moorish history is preserved,
and reflected, in its rich architecture, art, music and
cuisine. Within Andalucia itself, Marbella enjoys a prime
central location. Nearly equidistant from the culturally
endowed cities of Seville and Cordoba, the splendor of the
Moorish palace or Alhambra in Granada - and its ski resort
of Sierra Nevada - day trips beckon the appreciative explorer.
Smaller towns with exotic names like Jerez, Ronda, Alpujarras,
Casares, Nerja are equally alluring and hold their own unique
charms to be discovered first hand. For the more energetic
traveler, Melilla, Ceuta, Tangiers, Morocco and North Africa
are just across the Straight of Gibraltar by ferry and provide
their own unique itineraries. Just as alluring, the cities
of Cadiz, and Almería beckon from the extreme ends
of Andalucia. For nature lovers, the spectacular landscapes,
animal life and vegetation of the Natural Parks of Doñana
and Cabo de Gata provide a quiet and reflective refuge just
a few hours drive from the city. |

Marbella
itself is a study in contrasts. While wandering through
the casco antiguo (the old town section of Marbella) and
its centuries old alleys and whitewashed dwellings, one
can spot the latest fashions in a modern storefront. On
Marbella's main street, Porsches and Ferraris pass horse
drawn carriages and historic monuments rub elbows with the
latest architecture. Don't forget about the police on horseback
that radio their fellow officers cruising shiny, new Harley
Davidson motorcycles. |
| Why
is Marbella so popular with all ages? There something for
everyone in the family here. Golfers enjoy the many nearby
world-class links; Valderama and Sotogrande to name but
two (the area is also known as the "La Costa del Golf").
The children will be torn between the many swimming beaches,
amusement parks, nature parks and theme parks. After the
family shoppers empty their arms of their purchases from
nearby duty free Gibraltar, and souvenir-rich Ronda, they
are off to Marbella's La Cañada Shopping Mall, the
many boardwalk stands and chic Puerto Banus. In the evening,
everyone enjoys the varied restaurants and the more energetic
can hit the pubs and nightspots and fill the itinerary until
the wee hours of the morning. |

Make
no mistake though; Marbella isn't just a tourist destination.
Modern health facilities, quality private education, a thriving
business climate, a robust local economy and a low crime
rate make it an equally attractive location for investment,
residency and raising a family. Its multi cultural ambiance
makes all nationalities and languages feel welcome. One
would have to be blind to miss the myriad of construction
projects that reflect the city's bright future and influx
of world citizens eager to enjoy all that this dream destination
has to offer. Let Lucia Pou's expert guidance show you how
to easily integrate yourself, and your family, into this
most magnetic city on the world map, and make your Costa
del Sol dreams become a reality. |
