Marbella

The main focal point of Marbella is the old town or Casco Antiguo, where you will find a labyrinthine maze of old, cobbled backstreet filled with restaurants, tapas bars and shops selling all types of goods. The Casco Antiguo of Marbella has an atmospheric charm that forces the visitor to become absorbed in the laid back tempo of the Spanish lifestyle. Despite the glitzy reputation with is far more pertinent of Puerto Banús, Marbella is a typical Spanish city where the town centre is full of high rise buildings, shops and businesses. Its beachside location however, is what sets it aside from most other cities and the long "paseo marítimo", which runs behind the beach, is a great place to take a stroll or sit, have a coffee and watch the world pass by.

As an established cultural and commercial centre, Marbella has so much more to offer that its status as a five Star beach resort might lead one to believe. An increasing number of multi-national businesses are making this area the base for their Spanish operations, which is having a positive impact on career opportunities for local residents and people thinking about moving to live and work here. The town of Marbella offers a wide range of affordable apartments and luxury villas for sale, golf courses and much more.
