Marbella

Marbella is a beautiful town encompassing the old and the new. There are plenty of designer shops and boutiques, yet if you wander off into the back streets you will find the tiny alleyways that make up the old town. Head for the “Plaza de los Naranjos” the Orange Square, aptly named as it is a beautiful cobbled street square lined with Orange trees. You can get the freshest of Orange Juice here and enjoy delicious food from the many cafes and coffee shops that surround the square. There are interesting buildings to explore like the Town Hall and Santa Maria church that will keep you busy for hours.
