Marbella
5 things to see
A Costa del Sol city with a whitewashed old town centered on the Plaza de los Naranjos, Moorish castle remains, and the glitzy Puerto Banus marina. Budget travelers find the old town and its tapas bars surprisingly affordable compared to the resort strip, and beach access along Spain’s southern coast is free. It also makes a cheap base for day trips: Malaga is a short, inexpensive bus ride east, with the white hill town of Ronda and Granada further inland. Shoulder-season spring and autumn keep the sun without the peak-summer prices.
