One of the most obvious things that I discovered about Marbella (and particularly the Guadalmina area near Puerto Banus) is that so many people I know have holiday villas and apartments there. I used to think that was a bad thing, but as I sat at a white clothed round table beside the pool in Guadalmina Golf Club, and sipped champagne at a party hosted for my friend Marie's 60th birthday party, I realised just how lucky these people are. They get to spend time together in the sun and they can do it as often as they like. |

In fairness Marbella is far more "normal". It's like the Grand Dame of the glamour world, subdued, but let's you know it's there and to be aspired to. The huge villas speak of old money. |
