With its beautiful location on the Costa del Sol holidaymakers have been flooding to Marbella on the Spanish coast since package tours first became available to the wider market. Once a sleepy fishing village on the Mediterranean Marbella is now a large cosmopolitan resort, the guarantee of sunshine enticing in the well heeled with the promise of a perfect tan top up.
Although the glamour and the glitz may attract more than the occasional celebrity this popular destination has far more to offer then the promise of the high life; the Andalusian region is amongst the most beautiful areas in Spain and it doesn’t take much to scratch below the glittering surface of Marbella to find a heart that beats with tradition and culture.
