The area of Marbella on the Costa del Sol has long held the interest of travelers, holidaymakers and property investors alike, and if you have never visited, you may ask yourself what makes this particular part of Spain so special. Read on to find out about some of the best aspects of this part of the world.
Affordable property
Although the area of Marbella is renowned for its impressive villas and expansive mansions, there is also a wide variety of slightly less bank-breaking properties on offer. From quiet fincas in the country, to beach-front properties, to mid-town apartments, Marbella surely has it all. Despite being one of the most sought-after destinations in Europe, property prices in Marbella have been falling to suit the current economy, and so there are numerous property deals to be found – whatever your taste or budget.
Low-cost flights
More and more low-cost carriers are offering cheap holiday deals and flights to Marbella. Due to popular demand, it is now easier than ever before to travel to the Costa del Sol on a budget, meaning that tourism still plays a major part in Marbella’s economy. Just a two hour flight from UK destinations, a trip to Marbella is so simple, many people choose the area, not just for a short break, but as their ‘home away from home’.
Culture and climate
An area steeped in history and culture, the sights of Marbella are simply stunning. Cobbled streets in the ‘old town’ lead to charming squares adorned with bougainvillea and orange blossoms. A trip into one of the many typical tea rooms and restaurants will find you a taste sensation in the form of fresh salads, mouthwatering seafood, and, of course, the much-loved ‘churros and chocolate’. As Marbella enjoys year-round sunshine, the stunning beaches are always accessible too – for relaxing times on fine sand watching the waves gently lapping at the shore – and perhaps enjoying a jug of the world-famous sangria!
