"Sophisticated Marbella" Marbella by pabertra

Marbella Travel Guide: 567 reviews and 2,059 photos

Beautiful, sophisticated, and lush Marbella brings a rich Mediterranean feel to the Spanish coast. The town includes the neighboring port of Puerto Banus where their are more yachts and Mercedes per square foot than anywhere else in Spain. There is a reason that this port attracts the rich and famous (Sean Connery has a house here), the scenery is stunning, the seafood delightful, and the shopping spectacular!!! Thankfully the city is not only for the rich, their are great places to stay for students and families!

General Information

Marbella is located in southern Spain's Andalucia region.

    I see that you,too, enjoyed the beauty of Marbella. Hostel sounds grand, except, of course, the showers!

    Glad you enjoyed your stay, and thanks for the accommadation tip, I´m always asked to recommend hostels here, but living here and not staying in hostals its difficult to know their standards. As Claudine says, not easy to get a photo without the sun ;o)
