Eat at the beach bars along the seafront or in the lanes around the Plaza de los Naranjos.
Sikkerhed og sundhed
Marbella is generally safe. In summer, watch your bags on the beach and in busy streets, and use strong sun protection. Swim only where the flags are green.
Historie
A Roman villa near the coast shows that people lived here 2,000 years ago. The Moors built a fortress, and parts of its walls remain in the old town.
The town passed to the Spanish crown in 1485, and the Plaza de los Naranjos was laid out soon after. In the 1950s the town became a fashionable resort, and tourism grew fast along the coast.
