The city
Marbella is on the Costa del Sol, in the province of Málaga, between the Mediterranean and the Sierra Blanca. The Casco Antiguo preserves the Plaza de los Naranjos, opened after 1485, and remains of the Arab castle. From the square, the Avenida del Mar, with sculptures by Dalí, descends to the Paseo Marítimo and the beaches. To the west is Puerto Banús, a sports marina from 1970. In the center is the Museo del Grabado Español Contemporáneo. The language is Spanish.

The local experience
Marbella's old town, within the layout of the former Arab wall, with white, flower-filled streets, the Plaza de los Naranjos, the Iglesia de la Encarnación and the remains of the 10th-century castle.
Pedestrian promenade between the old town and the beach, with gardens, fountains and a collection of ten bronze sculptures by Salvador Dalí displayed outdoors.
Seafront promenade along the Mediterranean that follows Marbella's central beaches, such as La Venus, El Faro and La Fontanilla, and continues west for several kilometres towards Puerto Banús.
Marina opened in 1970, built like an Andalusian village of white houses, with about 900 berths for boats, large yachts, designer shops, restaurants and nightlife.
Museum devoted to Spanish printmaking, with works by Picasso, Miró, Dalí, Tàpies and Chillida, housed in the former Hospital Bazán, a 16th-century Renaissance building in the old town.
