About
Marbella Centro is the best starting point to experience the real Marbella. From the narrow cobbled streets of the Old Town and the iconic Plaza de los Naranjos, all the way down to the Paseo MarĂtimo and Marina Marbella, everything invites you to stroll, eat well and enjoy the Mediterranean vibe all day long. Here youâll find history, shopping and leisure in one place: churches and flower-filled balconies, boutiques, markets, beach bars and stylish beach clubs overlooking the bay. Wander through the Old Town terraces, walk by the sea at sunset or head to the marina to watch the sailing boats with La Concha mountain in the background. Food lovers are spoilt for choice: authentic tapas at Taberna Tarifa in Divina Pastora, a cosy local atmosphere at Tapeo Perita in the Old Town, and a seaside treat at La Diva CrĂȘpe on the promenade. Marbella Centro is the perfect area to combine beach, culture and gastronomy in a single day.
