Marbella ? summer hot spot for the rich
Marbella is the Costa del Sol?s most stylish and extravagant resort. The development already began in the 1960s when many chic bars, restaurants and cafés opened in the city. Today Marbella has the highest per capita income in Europe and there is no town where there are more Rolls Royce except in London.
If you are thinking about spending your Costa del Sol vacation in Marbella you have to travel with the right budget. On the other hand Marbella succeeded in retaining the greater part of the old town. Besides the jet set location there is the Placa de los Naranjos where you can still enjoy a coffee in a typical Andalusia surrounding.
Puerto Banús, approximately 6 km to the west of town is the place where you can admire all the rich with their enormous yachts. If you spend you holiday in a Marbella Hotel you should not miss one of the typical tapas bars, which are excellent in Marbella. During your holidays in aCosta del Sol hotel you can also make a one-day trip to Marbella to taste the extravagant life feeling.
