Top 10 Marbella Holiday Attractions
Marbella Casco Antiguo

Puerto Banus Marina
Puerto Banus is the most fashionable resort in Southern Spain just 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) southwest of Marbella . Cafes, restaurants and boutiques are clustered around the harbour. The choice of international restaurants is amazing, with most of them situated right on the marina with spectacular views. The nightlife in Puerto Banus is incredible, with a huge choice of alfresco bars, casinos, piano clubs and discos.
Paseo Maritimo
The paseo maritimo is a good place to stroll. There are more than 50 restaurants and plenty of shops, so you can spend so much time just walking along the beach promenade. It's just a beautiful place that is lined with palm trees. Walk the Golden Mile from Marbella to Puerto Banus. The walk is about 7.6km (4.8 miles) and should take less than 2 hours at a brisk pace, but with sightseeing it could take a lot more. Fortunately, you will pass our apartment about half way so you could drop in for a rest if you happen to be renting it that week.
