There can be few activities more pleasant than a stroll along the Paseo Marítimo beach promenade of Marbella – whatever the time of day, week or season.
The real heart of Marbella is its Casco Antigo or Old Town. It is reached by leaving behind the beach and the Paseo Marítimo (sea promenade), and crossing the main road that bisects the town.
Founded in 1970 by José Banús, after whom it is named, Puerto Banús forms the culmination of a process that began with the Marbella Club on the Golden Mile – the glamorous palm tree-fringed avenue that connects the famous marina with the town.
The Costa del Sol has many famous places that many have heard of, from glamorous Puerto Banús to characterful Marbella town and its old quarter, yet one of the places less on the greater tourist map is the port of Cabopino.
Why is Guadalmina so popular?
This thriving little community on the border between the Marbella and Estepona municipal boundaries is known to a select few but offers a more discreet exclusivity than its better-known prestigious contemporaries on the Golden Mile, such as Sierra Blanca.
This is one of the better known residential zones in the Estepona area. It sits on the New Golden Mile, and because it is a mature community, it has established an enviable number of amenities in the vicinity, which is one of its attractions.
Fashionable Marbella established a reputation for excellent beauty spas offering first class service and facilities a long time ago. Time has only strengthened the opinion of many that you will be hard pushed to find another resort in Europe able to recommend so many respected establishments for spa and wellness services.
