1. A Walk through the picturesque Old Town
This beautiful and unique part of Marbella’s city center is where everything started and where the nucleus of today’s town was embedded. Dating back to Roman times this establishment was transformed into a fortress during 7 centuries of Arabic domination. The castle built by the Arabs during the 10th century is still well preserved and can be visited during a tour. When Catholic kings took over the city in 1485 they started building the characteristic churches and monuments, which can be seen today. The center with its eye-catchy square called Plaza de Los Naranjos is where the townhall and the most traditional restaurants and shops are located. Marbella Viewings offers this beautiful 2 bedroom townhouse, whose terrace is overlooking the whole old town of Marbella. Click here to discover it.
2. The Marina of Puerto Banús
The beautiful location called Puerto Banús was built in the 1970s and it was born as an extra-size urbanization offering residence-like living with hotel complexes, restaurants, leisure facilities and sandy beaches. The world-famous harbor was inaugurated with a huge party and at that event the most trendy international jetset showed up. Since then, Puerto Banús has been growing steadily and its Marina is today the 4th most expensive harbor in the world. If you are interested in buying a property in Puerto Banús, we have a selection of homes for you here.
3. World-famous Golf Courts
