The gorgeous weather is a given, with an average of 320 days of sunshine a year and an average temperate of over 20 Celsius.
Although you don’t have to rent a sunbed and lay on the beach all day to make the most the area – although you can if you want. As the Marbella coastline stretches along 26 kilometres of sunny beaches bathed by the Mediterranean, where you can enjoy traditional fish and seafood favourites like sardines on a split, fried fish and the incomparable paella.
A short walk around the Marina, Old Town and infamous Golden Mile will take you past beautiful parks, Andalusian cafes, fountains and white narrow streets. The daily adventure is completely up to you. Choose to fuel yourself with traditional coffee, fresh orange juice, churros or obviously… tapas! You could see new things and eat in a different restaurant every day for a year, without doing the same thing twice!
If you want to indulge yourself and experience pure luxury, Puerto Banus is where you should go. Just 10 minutes away from Marbella Centro, you can window shop or treat yourself at one of several renowned fashion houses and boutiques. And shopping isn’t how you would choose to spoil yourself, there is also a casino, commercial shopping centre, El Corte Ingles department store, marine observatory and a multi-cinema with films shown in their original soundtrack. The opportunities are endless!
For those who are considering a family move, it should be known that the best international school and colleges are here. The English schools here are mostly private schools but offer some of the best education in Spain. The local children grow up speaking at least 2-3 languages as if they were native!
