Marbella
Marbella is the choice of the rich and famous. It is situated at the foot of the Sierra Blanca, the road that once joined Rome with Tartessus. There are over 325 days of sunshine a year, with winds predominating from the west and east.  

Set against the stunning backdrop of the "La Concha" mountain Marbella is a mixture of old and new, with stylish apartments lining the seafront with 28 km of beaches.

Marabella is today one of the most important tourist centres of Spain.  Offering a mild climate, varied scenery, skies nearly always clear, fresh and blue, and an abundance of natural riches.

Marina Marbella area is the place to find fresh fish, with it's live fish market providing many of the restaurants in the area with their fish. The Paseo Maritimo borders the sandy beaches and stretches from Marbella right along to Puerto Banus.

In view of the present appearance of the city it is hard to imagine that in the nineteenth century Marbella was one the most heavily developed mining regions in Spain, with blast furnaces for exploiting the iron from the mines in the Sierra Blanca mountain range.
