Yachts, history and beauty in Marbella
Marbella Harbour
The Marbella Harbour, popularly known as Puerto Banús, is considered to be the most exclusive harbour in the Málaga area. Luxurious yachts moor here surrounded by a wining and dining experience which attracts celebrities and royalty alike.
Marbella Old Quarter
As its name suggests, the Marbella Old Quarter is the original town with many traditional buildings and narrow, winding cobbled streets. In the area you will find boutique shops, quaint art galleries, pubs and restaurants.
Alameda Park
Located to the south of the Marbella Old Quarter is Alameda Park. This small park is a tranquil place to relax and view the many beautiful tropical plants on display. In the heart of the park is a magnificent fountain, decorated with colourful, traditional Andalusian tile-work, and decorated benches for a well-deserved break.
Avenida del Mar
The Avenida del Mar is a pedestrian street connecting the Marbella Old Quarter and the Golden Mile beach. As you head down through the Alameda Park to the beach, you will encounter an open air art gallery displaying ten surrealistic sculptures by the Spanish artist Salvador Dalí.
Iglesia Mayor de la Encarnacion
The Iglesia Mayor de la Encarnacion, or Church Of The Incarnation, is a major attraction for visitors to Marbella. Located next to the castle, the church, built in 1505, is a mixture of Renaissance, Gothic and baroque styles and is home to the Lady of Solitude statue.
