Marbella is beautiful, complex, contradictory, and impossible to pin down. The sun-baked playground of the Costa del Sol refuses to be just one thing. More than yachts at Puerto Banus and supercars along the Golden Mile – there’s history here, and tradition, and rhythm. It’s espetos fresh from an open fire, or the slow strumming of a Spanish guitar. It’s learning the steps of the flamenco at sunset or the taste of a salty sea spray aboard a sailing boat as it dances between Mediterranean waves at dawn. This is Marbella as it’s lived.
The question isn’t if you’ll be in Marbella. It is which Marbella you’ll discover.
