Information about Marbella, Spain (Click to view)
Known as the jewel of the Costa del Sol, this coastal resort town is located about an hour south of Malaga. The small curvy streets and white washed colonial style buildings make Marbella a picturesque vacation spot. One finds many boutiques, restaurants, and bars in town as well as along the beach.
From its dazzling beaches to its ancient castles, Spain is a country as diverse as the cultures which have influenced its art, architecture, music and lifestyle. It is a land where cathedrals and castles are interspersed with skyscrapers, where modern rock mixes with flamenco guitar, and night clubs compete with cozy "tapas" bars. Spain offers some of the world's most famous museums, resorts, and festivals, making it a unique and enchanting destination.
