General information on Marbella and Puerto Banús
With 27 kilometres of coastline and 24 different
beaches to choose from Marbella has something
for everyone. Whether you're into jet-ski-ing,
sailing, star-spotting, balloon flights, cable
ski-ing or simply enjoying some of the best
fresh seafood in the world you'll find it
all at Marbella's seafront and water sports
centres.
Stroll along the famous Golden Mile and
dine at some of the most sumptuous (and
expensive) restaurants that the Mediterranean
has to offer. Or visit one of the many "chiringuitos"
- the beach bars that pepper this stretch
of coastline, serving much-needed cold drinks
and delicious food to summer visitors. If
you're a sucker for seafood try their fresh
char-grilled sardines.
Marbella has a distinctly cosmopolitan
feel to it, more so than the other main
towns on the Costa del Sol, local celebrities
include Sean Connery, Melanie Griffith &
Antonio Banderas (who originally came from
Malaga). It's not surprising then that it
is often compared with the likes of Monaco
and Portofino.
If you would like a bit of Hollywood style
glitz why not visit Puerto Banus, where
you can amble beside the yachts and speedboats
of the rich and famous, the king of Spain
also moors his yacht in this port from time
to time, which is an awe-inspiring sight!
Expensive sports and luxury cars litter
the area; Puerto Banus is a place that inspires
people!
Since its inception some forty years ago,
the port has steadily grown and now features
a casino, commercial shopping centre, a
Corte Ingles department store, marine observatory
and a multi cinema with films shown with
their original soundtrack.
We here at GuidetotheCosta.Com
hope enjoy your visit to this exciting and
extravagant resort.
