Marbella stands out on the coast by having a charm and character all of its very own. Although once a quiet fishing village, Marbella is now a sophisticated resort city full of different nationalities going about their daily life. The main road is lined with palm trees and colourful plants, and most streets tend to be leafy and attractive.

A decade after the construction boom started the Marbella town is still experiencing property growth and the sight of cranes against a blue sky is a permanent reminder of progress and employment possibilities for the many people that choose to make Marbella and surrounding area their home.
