Proximity to Málaga positions Marbella as a premier destination for those seeking a blend of luxury living and the rich cultural experience of the Costa del Sol. Residents and visitors can savor the vibrant culture of Málaga and the upscale living in Marbella, offering the best of both worlds.
I moved to the Costa del Sol in 1999 after living in various locations around mainland Spain and the Islands. What attracted me to the coast was the fact that this really is a year-round destination with so much to do and so many beautiful places to visit in the area, no matter what time of year it is. The fact that we have arguably the best climate in Europe doesn’t do any harm either.
