In the heart of the Costa del Sol, right on the coast of Spain lies Marbella. The city is considered the seaside resort in Andalusia and attracts many visitors who want to spend a relaxing vacation in Marbella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Marbella, for many visitors that sounds like jet-setting, wild beach parties and always nice weather. The city got this reputation in the early 50s of the 20th century, when Prince Alfons von Hohenlohe discovered the place for himself. He belonged to the so-called jet-set scene and was co-founder of a club in Marbella that quickly made a name for itself. It attracted not only aristocrats, stars and starlets, but also, unfortunately, people who tended to earn their fortunes from shady dealings. This quickly destroyed the reputation of the city and the money-making stars looked for other vacation and party places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 1980s, Marbella’s then-mayor managed to restore the city’s reputation by increasing security. The desired public returned to vacation in Marbella. In 2007, when it turned out that not only the mayor but also numerous other officials of the city were involved in corruption scandals, the confidence of the city’s residents and visitors plummeted again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, attempts are being made to continue the splendor of the old days and vacationers are returning to the coastal town. On long beaches with a well-visited promenade you can relax wonderfully. Impressive ships are moored in the city’s marinas again, and there are many good restaurants and classy stores that add to the city’s flair. The stroll through the beautiful alleys of the old town is the real highlight of Marbella that you should not miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you stay a little longer in the city, you should take the time to go hiking in the region. You can make great mountain tours and discover small towns in the hinterland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
