Enjoy a drink at one of the cafes in the Muelle de Galera and watch the rich and famous passing by in their Porches, Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Rolls Royces. Marbella is a delight if you like shopping. From exclusive shops and boutiques in Puerto Banus to the hidden and unique shops in the historic center of the old town. There are also several large indoor shopping centers and department stores like El Corte Ingles. The famous market (Saturdays from 09.00 to 14.00) of Nueva Andalucia, near Puerto Banus, is very popular and attracts many visitors. It is one of the largest markets in the area and we recommend this market especially if you are looking for clothing, music and accessories at competitive prices. You will also find a variety of second-hand goods. The market is located near the Bullring of Nueva Andalucía. Marbella offers along the beautiful promenade and the streets behind a variety of restaurants where you can have great food. One that is not to be missed is Lekune where you can enjoy pintxos, small snacks served around the tables and where you pay based on the number of sticks you used. If you need a great city break or want to stroll through beautiful Andalusian villages: Malaga with its authentic center and beautiful villages such as Mijas pueblo, Ronda and Casares are within easy reach. A little further away but still easily accessible is Seville, a beautiful city that will capture your heart quickly. For those for whom this is not enough, they can indulge in a trip to nearby Gibraltar (bring your passport!). And then there is Tarifa, around 75 minutes drive away. World famous because of the creme de la creme kite beaches and base for whale watch trips and departure point for day trips to Tangier in Morocco. About an hours drive away theres Nerja with its famous Balcon de Europa, pleasant shopping streets, delicious ice cream shops, the famous caves and the beautiful beach with the widely acclaimed restaurant Ayo. Highly recommended! Near Nerja the picturesque village Frigliana is worth to visit.
