Nueva Andalucia is an attractive area just west of Marbella where, as its name suggests, the villas and apartments are based on traditional Andalusian architecture and design. For golfers in particular, the area could not be more ideal with several magnificent courses within virtual putting distance, including La Quinta, Las Brisas, Los Naranjos, Aloha Golf and La Dame de Noche, to name but a few. Nueva Andalucia is also becoming known for its international cuisine with a varied selection of restaurants to suit the discerning diner. There is also an excellent street market ('rastra") held next to the bullring here every Saturday morning.
Puerto Banus - the magnificent bustling marina, where sleek expensive yachts line the quaysides and glamorous shops, boutiques and restaurants abound.
Marbella Old Town - visit “Orange Square" Old Town(Plaza de los Naranjos) with its excellent selection of restaurants, its maze of narrow streets filled with fabulous shops, and its relaxing cafes for those who prefer to take it easy and watch the world go by.
San Pedro (Marbella’s little sister) - a typical Spanish town with a good selection of restaurants, cafes and bars. Plenty of art galleries and artist supply shops for the enthusiastic painter. Excellent shopping facilities and less expensive than Puerto Banus. Good local market every Thursday morning, well worth a visit.
Benahavis - a beautiful hillside village where local hospitality and fine dining beckons the inquisitive visitor.
