Selwo is a zoo and safari park where you can see some amazing wild animals in beautiful surroundings. It is not a safari park like you’d see in the UK as you don’t take in your car. You park outside (there’s ample parking) and then go in by foot, so in that sense it is more like a zoo. However, they are very hot on conservation and animal welfare and have large enclosures which try to replicate the natural habitat as much as possible, so it’s more than your average zoo.
The park is split up into habitat zones where similar animals can live together. There’s a bird canyon, central village and lake reserve, as well as what they call Nature Gateway at the beginning with a little farm, aviary and lots of lovely animals.
There are some beautiful birds, reptiles and snakes, but the highlights are the big game animals such as the White Rhino, Angolan Giraffe, Asian Elephants and the majestic Lions.
They also have some really cool activities and exhibitions which are included in the ticket price such as a chance to meet the cheetahs, lemurs, lions, giraffes and snakes, a birds and small mammals demonstration and a biodiversity workshop. These are once a day in the different areas, check the website for the times and where to go.
You have the option to also do a safari, where you ride on trucks with a guide and they take you round all the animals. We would really recommend this as you learn a lot and have some amazing experiences such as feeding zebra and getting very close to the enormous hippos – some of the kids even got to feed one! This is extra from the ticket and you need to book a time slot to do it.
If you and the kids love animals and you don’t mind travelling a little during your trip, we’d recommend booking the three park ticket “ Selwo Pack ” which includes a visit to Selwo Zoo in Estepona, and their Aquarium Selwo Marina and a trip on the cable car in Benalmadena. This is 33€ per person, which is a 40% discount compared to buying the tickets separately.
Insiders’ Tip
This is a big park and there is a lot of walking to do, so make sure you wear comfortable shoes and bring some water as it can get pretty hot. If you have quite young children, we’d recommend taking a buggy, as it’s a lot for little legs.
Selwo is located close to the charming town of Estepona, with it’s wonderful wide sandy beaches, great restaurants and botanical gardens, which is a great place for a family holiday. Check out our Estepona vacation rentals to see where you could stay, or find out more about Selwo on their website.

Marbella is a fantastic destination all year round, and there’s no doubt why many travellers keep coming back to Marbella – whether it’s for its lovely old town, sun-kissed golden beaches, ambience or nightlife.
There are many reasons to love Marbella!
Soak up the sunshine at Playa de la Venus, wander the idyllic whitewashed streets in the historic centre, sip a cocktail on a rooftop terrace, go on a magical boat tour at sunset or immerse yourself in the local culture by taking a food tour.
It might not be a sightseeing place packed with many historical attractions and museums like Malaga, but believe me, you won’t get bored of its beauty.
Are you ready to discover the best of Marbella with me? Let me show you my favourite activities!

Things to do in Marbella
1. Uncover the charm of Marbella Old Town
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 3 A view of Encarnacion Church from Carmen Street in Marbella old town.](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/marbella-old-town.jpg)
Personally, Marbella has the most beautiful old town in Costa del Sol. Immerse yourself in it by wandering its cobblestone streets with whitewashed buildings, squares adorned with scented orange trees, bougainvillaeas flowers hanging down from houses and blue plant pots with bright flowers.
It’s a picturesque place no matter which path you take. Many of these little streets are connected to Plaza de Los Naranjos (Orange Square), a lively square with restaurants, bars and the town hall.
While visiting this photogenic square, don’t miss out seeing Casa del Corregidor, a 16th century building characterised by its architecture. It has elements from Gothic, Renaissance and Mudejar art.
In the historic centre, you’ll find many boutiques and independent shops perfect for buying something unique or a souvenir and supporting the locals. For example, you can do olive oil tasting and buy high-quality extra virgin olive oil at D-Oliva or beautiful dresses at TANDEM. I love their summer outfits!
Marbella Historic Centre also has many photography spots that you won’t resist taking pictures of. You can spend hours just wandering around and taking photos like I do, no matter how many times I’ve been.
Visiting Marbella Old Town is one of the best things to do in Marbella.
The most beautiful streets in Marbella Old Town
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 4 Cristina walking on a street in Marbella Old Town, Spain](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/marbella-old-town.jpg)
If you’re looking for pretty streets to take photos of, you want to check these four (they’re my favourites!):
- Calle Carmen ( check out the location here )
- Calle Nueva. You can’t miss a photo with the Marbella sign ( check out the location here )
- Calle Gloria ( check out the location here )
- Calle Caballeros ( check out the location here )
These streets are the most instagrammable spots in Marbella , and there’s no doubt why many tourists, travellers, and bloggers stop by.
2. Contemplate the beauty of La Encarnación Church
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 6 Ceiling at Encarnacion church in Marbella.](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Encarnacion-church-interior.jpg)
Not far from Plaza de los Naranjos is Plaza de la Iglesia, a charming square with a fountain, a cross, palm trees, a statue, and Iglesia de la Encarnación on the side. It’s Marbella’s main church.
If you appreciate the outside of this beautiful church, you’ll love the inside with its religious statues and little stained-glass windows near the ceiling, which is also impressive.
When visiting it during December or early January, you can also see a beautiful nativity scene inside the church.
The church opening times vary from summer to the rest of the year. You can check the exact times in this page .
3. Capture history by taking a photo of Marbella Castle Walls
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 7 The walls of Marbella Castle.](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Marbella-walls.jpg)
Marbella Castle is a historic landmark located in the Old Town. The castle was built in the 11th century, showing the Moorish influences in the area.
Before exploring Marbella Old Town, you might expect to see a castle; however, nowadays, you’ll only find the restored remaining walls of what used to be Marbella Castle.
Although you can’t do much more than take photos, seeing and reading the posters about its history is still nice. Alternatively, I recommend taking a guided tour to learn about Marbella’s history , which tells you more about these walls.
As of July 2024, the work to restore other parts of Marbella Walls is complete.
4. Discover the Museum of Spanish Contemporary Engravings
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 8 Inside the museum of engravings, Marbella, Spain.](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/museum-of-engravings.jpg)
Located in the old town of Marbella, the Museum of Spanish Contemporary Engravings , also known as Museo de Grabado Español Contemporáneo, is an interesting museum for anyone who loves seeing graphic art.
The museum was built in the former Bazán Hospital building, and here you can find a wide collection of the best Spanish engravings – from graphic arts that date back to the 15th century to engravings of recognised artists like Picasso and Dalí.
There are three floors to explore and immerse yourself in art. I was impressed by the amount of objects and paintings in this museum.
5. Relax on the tiled benches in the Alameda Park
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 9 Fountain in Alameda Park in Marbella](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/alameda-park-1.jpg)
If there’s at least one park you must visit in Marbella is Alameda Park. It’s one of the best places to visit in Marbella. A three-minute walk from the Old Town, the park is an escape from the lively atmosphere to a relaxing place.
When you walk from Alameda Park, it gives you the feeling of walking in a small jungle. Many species of plants and tall trees keep you in the shade. It’s the sort of place you want to go to in the summer when it’s scorching.
The shade from the plants and trees makes the place cool. On top of this, other reasons to visit this lovely park are the impressive fountain in the centre of the park, which has become a popular photo spot, and its benches made with beautiful tiles.
It’s a popular meeting point for us locals and some summer events like the fair take place here.

6. Treat yourself in Puerto Banús
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 11 A view of Puerto Banus, Marbella.](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/puerto-banus-marbella.jpg)
Marbella’s worldwide famous port, Puerto José Banus , is a must-see during your time in Marbella.
The port is well-known for its expensive yachts, cars, shops and restaurants. You can find shops such as Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci and many more.
Although it isn’t a budget-friendly place, it’s a nice place to see the sunset and have a taste of this luxurious area in Marbella. You can grab a cocktail in one of the restaurants overlooking the port and soak up the stylish atmosphere.
Another great activity to do in Puerto Banus is to go on a boat tour . There are different types of tours, and some even include dolphin watching (more about cruises below!).
![](http://odontopartners.online/777/templates/cheerup/res/banner1.gif)
7. Go on a sailing boat cruise
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 12 A view of Puerto Banus, Marbella](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/puerto-banus-marbella.jpg)
If you want a different view of Marbella, a sailing boat cruise is perfect because you can contemplate the beautiful coastline, whitewashed buildings and mountains. The scenery is magical.
This 3-hour boat cruise includes drinks, snacks, and snorkelling equipment. You can simply relax and enjoy the views or dive into the sea. You might be lucky to see some dolphins and other marine animals too. It’s a great activity in Marbella.
📌 Check out this highly-rated sailing boat cruise
8. Eat tapas at La Lonja
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 14 La Lonja Restaurant in Marbella, Spain.](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/La-Lonja-Marbella.jpg)
When visiting Marbella, eating tapas is a top activity to do in the town. There are endless options; however, if you want delicious and authentic tapas, La Lonja is your best choice.
The restaurant is in Avenida Antonio Belón, a few minutes walk from Avenida del Mar. They offer traditional Andalusian food, from fresh fried fish and seafood to smaller dishes such as gambas al pil-pil, croquetas and berenjenas con miel de caña (fried aubergine with sugar cane honey).
Another fantastic place to eat in Marbella is Casa Blanca. I love their cosy atmosphere and dishes such as garlic prawns and serranito sandwich.
If you prefer to discover food on a food tour, check out this tapas and wine tour , where you’ll be taken to two traditional tapa restaurants in the old town. You’ll enjoy the Andalusian flavours and learn more about Marbella too.
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 15 Puerto Banus Beach, Marbella](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/playa-puerto-banus.jpg)

9. Chill on a rooftop terrace
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 16 Linda rooftop terrace in Marbella, Spain.](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Linda-rooftop-terrace.jpg)
Another fantastic thing to do in Marbella is to go to a rooftop terrace. There are many pretty rooftop bars where you can enjoy a cocktail, mocktail or smoothie.
I’ve visited the rooftop terrace at Linda Boutique Hotel, which has stunning views of the Santo Cristo de Marbella Church. Their terrace is very cosy and beautifully decorated.
However, if you prefer coastal views, head to Belvue Rooftop Bar, Senator Marbella Spa Hotel or Lima Hotel.
10. Soak up the sun at one of Marbella’s beaches
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 17 Venus Beach, Marbella](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/playa-de-venus.jpg)
Marbella and its surroundings have lovely beaches for a half or full day, and some of them are even awarded Blue Flags because of their facilities and quality.
If you’re looking for the most accessible from Marbella’s Old Town, you want to go to Playa Venus. It’s a small beach with plenty of activities to do if you’d rather do something different than sunbathing. There are water sports activities, restaurants and shops nearby.
At the same time, it’s a great beach for watching the beautiful sunset.
For anyone who prefers a tranquil and less crowded beach in Marbella, El Alicate is your best option. This beach also offers golden sand and crystal blue waters, which makes it a very special beach.
Also, one of my favourite beaches in Marbella is Cabopino, which is excellent for relaxing, swimming, sunbathing, and hiking.
Other beaches in Marbella you want to check are :
- Playa de la Venus – best for facilities and is next to the old town.
- Bounty Beach – best for a great atmosphere.
- Playa Real de Zaragoza – best for good chiringuitos (beach bars).
- Nikki Beach – best for parties.
- Cabopino – best for immersing yourself in nature. Las Dunas de Artola Natural Park is next to the beach.
11. Spend the day at a stylish beach club
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 18 Calma by Koppaberg beach club in Marbella.](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Calma-Marbella.jpg)
I’m not a partygoer, and I’ve never been, but I love the atmosphere at the beach clubs in Marbella .
They’re different from other beach clubs across the Costa del Sol. They have that glamorous vibe and incredible music you can enjoy all day.
Book a sunbed, enjoy a meal and soak up the sunshine while listening to chill-out music.
Amare Beach Club, which is part of the Marbella Amare Hotel, is good. However, there are other more well-known beach clubs, such as Ocean Beach and Nikki Beach .
I also have to mention the Calma by Koppaberg. My partner and I recently went there and loved the atmosphere and drinks. I could have spent hours and hours admiring the sea views there.
12. Learn to paddleboard
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 20 Faro Beach, Marbella](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/playa-del-faro.jpg)
If you’re looking for fun things to do in Marbella, check out the water sports activities.
Whether you love paddle boarding, kayaking or canoeing, you’ll find plenty of classes and tours across Marbella’s coast.
Paddleboarding has become more and more popular in Costa del Sol, and you can find very good tours and classes where you’ll learn stand-up paddleboarding. It’s an excellent watersport for all ages, giving you a chance to see Marbella from another perspective.
One of the most magical times to do paddling is sunset.
📌 Check out this 2 hour kayak tour to explore the coast.
13. Scuba dive
Did you know Marbella and Costa del Sol are home to diverse marine life? This is because of the mix of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea.
When you go scuba diving in Marbella, you might see anything from octopuses and eels to seahorses. An interesting fact about Marbella is that there is a type of sea slug in Marbella you won’t find anywhere else.
Plenty of companies across Marbella offer scuba diving lessons for beginners and all levels.
14. Walkthrough Avenida del Mar
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 21 A photo of Dali sculptures at Avenida del Mar in Marbella, Spain.](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Avenida-del-mar.jpg)
This avenue used to be part of the popular Alameda Park, but this changed in the 80s when they started building underground car parking. From the 90s onwards, the avenue changed into what it is now.
It’s a great place to wander around and contemplate the 10 different bronze sculptures by the artist Salvador Dalí. There isn’t a clear connection between Dalí and Marbella, but we locals know that these sculptures sparked a storm of controversy.
Some people believe that Dalí didn’t create these sculptures from scratch and he got his inspiration in the sketches from another artist.
From Avenida del Mar, you can go down to the beach and continue a relaxing walk along the promenade.
Also, if you’re interested in seeing more art, you can visit the Ralli Museum, home to numerous artworks from Latin American artists.
15. Ride a bike on the beach promenade
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 22 Bars at the Puerto Deportivo in Marbella Spain.](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/marbella-promenade.jpg)
Riding a bike is a different way to explore Marbella and its coastline. It’s a great idea to see as much as possible of the town in a short period.
Although you can always rent a bike and do it on your own, if you want to do it with a group and learn about the town, go on a guided bike tour.
This 3-hour guided bike tour takes you from one side of the town to another, but you also have some time to take pictures and have a quick drink in one of the beach restaurants.
16. Book a free tour in Marbella
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 23 Marbella beach promenade on a sunny day.](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marbella-beach-promenade.jpg)
There are plenty of free things to do in Marbella, including guided tours.
Anyone who loves learning about a place from a local’s perspective or someone who has lived in Marbella for a while can book a free walking tour.
You can find several free tours online, and they’ll mostly show you around the Old Town and a few spots that only locals know.
I’ve taken the free guided tour below, and our guide, Sofi, was very knowledgeable.
📌 Check out this free walking tour of the Old Town of Marbella
17. Join the locals for an ice cream at Purolatte
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 24 Outdoor tables at Purolatte ice cream shop in Marbella.](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/purolatte.jpg)
Summers in Marbella are hot, and there’s no better way to cool down than having a handmade ice cream or refreshing smoothie at Purolatte .
This ice cream shop offers many delicious flavours—from cookies and tiramisu to mango—fresh smoothies, crepes, waffles, and other sweet treats.
The mango ice cream is my go-to when I visit Purolatte. It’s smooth and full of flavour!
18. Enjoy great events at The Farm
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 25 The farm restaurant in Marbella, Spain.](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/the-farm-marbella.jpg)
Although La Lonja is my top place to eat traditional food in Marbella, The Farm is a fantastic restaurant with modern dishes that aren’t only Spanish.
They use organic and fresh ingredients and have a good selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes.
However, what I like the most about The Farm are its events. You can listen to anything from live flamenco to rock and jazz; the atmosphere is incredible.
They also organise BBQs and yoga lessons. Check out its event calendar before heading there!
19. Take a photo of Santo Cristo de la Vera Cruz Church
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 26 Square with a fountain and white church in Marbella old town, Southern Spain.](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/marbella-old-town1.jpg)
If you stroll through Marbella Old Town, you’ll eventually find Santo Cristo de la Vera Cruz Church. The church is in Barrio Alto, which is still part of the old town.
The chapel of this church was built in the 15th century and expanded in the 18th century. Not only does the church look beautiful, but the square in which you find the church too.
20. Stroll through Represa Park
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 27 A view of the lake at Represa Park in Marbella.](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Represa-park.jpg)
Parque de la Represa is a beautiful urban park that used to divide the historic centre from the new. Inside this park, you can also find the stream of the Dam.
It’s lovely strolling through this park as you find many trees and plants from all over the world. In Represa Park, you can find the Bonsai Museum; however, it’s permanently closed now.
Parque La Represa is also a fantastic place to visit in Marbella with kids. They can have fun at the playground and see ducks, swans and turtles in the lake. By the way, there are so many turtles!
My favourite activities are going to the park and watching the turtles in the lake.
Although I prefer this park, another you might want to add to your list is Parque de la Constitución.
21. Go on a scenic hiking trail
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 29 View of La Concha mountain in Marbella, Spain.](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/view-of-concha-marbella.jpg)
Marbella isn’t only surrounded by a beautiful coastline, but mountains too. Whether you want to enjoy a close view of the Mediterranean Coast or have a peek-a-boo view of the African continent , you’ll find a walking route for you.
La Concha is one of the most popular routes for those who want a challenge. It takes between 8 and 9 hours to complete if you start from Marbella. This hike offers fantastic views of the coast, Gibraltar and even Africa on clear days.
If you want an easy walk, Senda Litoral Dunas de Artola is a beautiful route that takes you through the coast. It won’t take you more than 35 minutes to complete! It’s a peaceful walk where you can see the dunes and then swim in the sea.
22. Play golf at some of the best resorts in Costa del Sol
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 30 Golf course in Costa del Sol.](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Laurogolf.jpg)
A popular thing to do in Marbella is to play golf. It’s a golf paradise, offering golf courses for all ages and levels. Some of the best golf courses in Marbella include:
- Los Naranjos Golf Club
- Marbella Club Golf Resort
- La Quinta Golf & Country Club
- Cabopino Golf Marbella
23. Go to the lively Marbella street market
Do you love street markets? Marbella has a street market that takes place every Monday in Las Albarizas, Calle Platino, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The street market has over 350 stalls and sells anything from clothes to fruits, vegetables, and flowers.
But if you prefer antiques and quirky items, I recommend visiting the flea market at Centro Comercial Centro Plaza on Sundays.
24. Do some shopping at La Cañada
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 31 La Cañada Shopping Centre in Marbella.](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/la-canada-shopping-centre.jpg)
La Cañada is the best shopping centre in Marbella and Costa del Sol. If you’re looking for something, it’s very likely you’ll find it at La Cañada. The shopping centre has over 250 stores and plenty of car parking spaces.
Here you can find national as well as international brands – some of these brands are Zara, Quicksilver, Levi’s and Superdry. In addition to all the stores, the shopping centre has a good variety of restaurants and fast food options if you’re after food.
The best way to get to La Cañada is by car, take AP-7 and exit 186 towards A-355 / Ojen / Marbella (East). Alternatively, you can get a bus to La Cañada from the Marbella bus station.
25. Attend Marbella’s Fair
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 32 Marbella's fair decorations](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/marbella-feria.jpg)
If you happen to be in Marbella at the beginning of June, you can’t miss one of the many fantastic events in Costa del Sol , Feria de San Bernabé (Marbella’s Fair), celebrated every year.
There are lots of activities going on across the town during the 5 days this fair lasts – from incredible fireworks, attractions, dances, and live performances to churros and paella tastings.
26. Visit Lago de las Tortugas
One of the unusual things to do in Marbella is to visit Lago de las Tortugas, a 20-minute drive from Marbella Old Town.
Lago de las Tortugas, known as Turtle Lake in English, is a small picturesque lake nestled in the northern part of Marbella.
This lake, which is more of a reservoir, is home to many birds, and it’s an excellent place to enjoy a picnic in spring or swim in summer.
Note that despite its name, it’s rare to see turtles in this lake.
27. Discover Parque de las Ranas
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 33 Marbella Ojen walk](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/marbella-ojen-walk.jpg)
One of Marbella’s secret places is Parque de las Ranas. This lovely walk lets you cool down on a hot day. The tall trees and the Guadalpin stream make you feel immersed in nature. From here, you can also start the Marbella-Ojen hiking trail , a 17 km walk.
It’s one of my favourite places in Marbella because it’s quiet and only locals and expats know about it.
28. Watch the sunset at Embarcadero
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 34 The famous Marbella Club pier.](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/marbella-club.jpg)
One of my favourite places to watch the sunset in Marbella is on the Embarcadero pier in Marbella Beach Club, located in Playa de Nagueles.
It’s a magical spot you can visit all year round, and the beach club doesn’t need to be open.
Other beautiful sunset spots in Marbella include Trocadero Playa and Playa del Faro.
29. Contemplate the Roman Villa ruins
Villa Roman de Rio Verde is a villa complex situated a few meters away from Rio Verde in Marbella, between Puerto Banus and Marbella.
This archaeological site is known for its stunning well-preserved mosaic floors – including the famous mosaic of Medusa.
You can’t miss this place if you’re into Roman times and history.
30. Treat yourself to a special meal
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 35 Cristina at the entrance of Tragabuches restaurant in Marbella, Spain.](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Tragabuches-768x1024.jpg)
The culinary scene in Marbella is growing. It isn’t known for being a culinary destination, but I’d say it is. The wide range of restaurants, including Michelin-star ones, is impressive.
One of my favourite restaurants for a unique food experience is Tragabuches by local chef Dani Garcia . The restaurant, located between Puerto Banus and San Pedro, is worth a visit.
I love his Andalusian lunchtime menu, which includes a cold starter, a hot starter, a main course, a dessert, bread, and a drink. The Three-Tomato Salad (photo above) is scrumptious. The croquetas and cheesecake are very good too.
The prices are really good for what you get, plus his entire menu is Andalusian-inspired, so you’ll get to try local flavours!
31. Explore San Pedro de Alcantara
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 38 San Pedro de Alcantara beach promenade.](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/San-Pedro-Beach-Promenade.jpg)
One of the things to do near Marbella is to visit San Pedro de Alcántara. It’s situated between Marbella and Estepona , and although it’s part of Marbella, it feels like a different town.
Here, you can head to Plaza de la Iglesia, its main square, where you’ll find a parish church, narrow streets and plenty of boutique shops and restaurants.
Other places to see are Boulevard San Pedro, with playgrounds, gardens, a few cafes, and the basilica ruins.
However, my favourite place in San Pedro de Alcantara is the beach promenade, from where you can walk all the way to Puerto Banus or enjoy a meal with a view. I love Playa Nini beach restaurant.
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 39 a beautiful square in the old town of marbella, spain](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/A-square-in-marbella.jpg)
Marbella has enchanting places; however, if you’re staying for a more extended period of time, you can make the most of your time in Southern Spain by visiting other incredible places and going on a road trip .
Here’s a shortlist of the best day trips from Marbella .
32. Go on a Marbella to Malaga day trip
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 40 A photo of Malaga Cathedral taken in Obispo Square.](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Malaga-cathedral1.jpg)
Marbella is within a short distance from Malaga and, therefore, a great day trip. If you travel by car, it takes you about 1 hour or 45 minutes if you take the toll. However, if you don’t have a car, you can also get to Malaga by coach, Avanza buses are comfortable, affordable and quick.
The city offers a wide variety of cultural and entertaining activities that you can easily do in a day.
A must-see attraction is La Alcazaba de Málaga . This fortress palace takes you back to the Moorish times in Andalusia. Next to La Alcazaba, you can visit the Roman Theatre, and at the top of the hill is the Gibralfaro viewpoint and Castle.
Apart from these beautiful historical buildings, other activities you must include on your list are eating tapas at El Pimpi , walking through Muelle Uno, visiting the cathedral and enjoying the sunset in a rooftop bar such as La Terraza de Valeria .
33. Go on a Marbella to Ronda day trip
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 41 Puente Nuevo (Ronda's Bridge), Spain](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Puente-Nuevo-Ronda.jpg)
This charming town, located at the top of a mountain, is known for being the birthplace of bullfighting. You’ve probably seen pictures of this town before, especially of its epic New Bridge, Puente Nuevo.
Ronda offers many activities to do in a day – wine tasting, bird watching, visiting the Arabic Baths, strolling through the old and new town, exploring the Moorish Palace ( La Casa del Rey Moro ), and walking in El Tajo, among other activities.
To get from Marbella to Ronda, you can drive about an hour via A-397 or take an Avanza bus from Marbella bus station, which can take up to two hours.
Alternatively, Get Your Guide offers an excellent full-day tour to Ronda and Setenil de las Bodegas .
I went on this day tour , and it was totally worth it! We were given 1 hour to explore Setenil de las Bodegas, and after that, we spent most of the time in Ronda, where we enjoyed a guided tour of the old town.
After the guided tour and a glass of wine in a lovely restaurant overlooking the bridge, we were given 3 hours to explore Ronda on our own.
It’s a good day trip if you don’t have much time on Costa del Sol and don’t want to miss the opportunity to see these incredible towns.
The main downside of the tour is that 1 hour isn’t enough to explore Setenil. Especially if you want to take photos, enjoy a meal or take it easy.
34. Go on a Marbella to Ojen day trip
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 42 Ojen, a whitewashed town near marbellla, spain](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/ojen.jpg)
Ojen is a small town very close to Marbella, only a 20-minute drive, and it’s a charming place to visit.
This mountainside town is known for its whitewashed buildings, picturesque streets, and views.
Despite its small size, you can still find some interesting attractions such as the Oil Mill Museum, the parish church of Our Lady of the Incarnation and Ojen Caves, which have beautiful karstic monuments linked to the life of this town.
35. Go on a Marbella to Gibraltar day trip
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 43 top of gibraltar, one of the best things to do in gibraltar](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/top-of-gibraltar.jpg)
A one-hour drive from Marbella, Gibraltar is a unique destination to visit – its location, nature and fauna, as well as multicultural influences. The country is about 6.8 km², but despite being small, there are many things you can do in Gibraltar in a day.
Gibraltar’s most popular attraction is the Rock of Gibraltar, located in the Upper Rock Nature Reserve , home to the cheeky macaques and St Michael’s Cave. It’s an incredible place to visit as you can contemplate outstanding views of Gibraltar, Africa and Spain.
Other activities in Gibraltar include exploring Catalan Bay – a colourful area with a beautiful sandy beach, shopping on Main Street, visiting the Moorish Castle and relaxing at Gibraltar Botanic Gardens.
36. Go on a Marbella to Setenil de las Bodegas day trip
![35 Best Things to Do In Marbella (Explore it Like a Local!) 44 Setenil de las bodegas whitewashed town in cadiz.](https://mylittleworldoftravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Setenil-de-las-bodegas.jpg)
If you love visiting whitewashed villages, Setenil de las Bodegas in Cadiz province must be on your list. This village is an hour and 25 minutes drive from Marbella, but you can also find tours from Costa del Sol to Setenil .
What makes this place unique and attracts many tourists is that houses are inside caves carved into the cliffs.
Some of the best things you can do in Setenil include wandering its streets, visiting the Arab Castle, enjoying the views from different points across Setenil, visiting the churches, and tasting the local food.
Setenil isn’t far from Ronda, so you might want to visit Ronda and Setenil in one day. Alternatively, you can explore Setenil and Zahara de la Sierra or Olvera if you’ve already seen Ronda.

If you’re flying to Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP), the easiest way to travel to Marbella is to rent a car – this way, you can have more freedom to visit other beautiful places in the Costa del Sol – or get Avanza bus to Marbella just outside the arrivals doors at the airport.
If you decide to travel by car from the airport to Marbella, be aware that there are two routes – one that goes all the way through the coast (the scenic route) or the toll route that takes you to Marbella in less time.
Don’t fancy driving? You can also book a transfer to Marbella with Kiwitaxi .

Marbella looks so stunning. I can’t believe a lot of people only go there to party. I’m happy to see that there’s a lot more to do in this town. Definitely landed on my list!
I am happy that it made it to your list! It has much more to offer than just partying.
Love your photos! I like the small towns of Andalucia and Marbella looks like my kind of town. The old town, churches, narrow cobblestone streets, some history with castles – all sound good to me. I will check out this town on my next trip to Spain. Saving your blog post. 🙂
Thank you, Jan! I love Andalusia too, and it’s great to hear you’ve added Marbella to your list 🙂
I love places that have a “something for everybody” vibe; especially when you’re traveling with friends, some members of your group may be into beaches and relaxation while others are more into history. I’d definitely want to check out the Roman ruins and the historic buildings! I usually travel solo but every once in awhile I get together with friends and we try to decide on a place we’d all equally love, going to remember Marbella!
I totally agree with you, Claire. I love places that have a bit of everything, so it makes it easier to make everyone happy 🙂 Marbella is definitely one of those. In addition to that, the town is very close to other amazing places too.
Yes, it happened to me as well! I thought Marbella didn’t have much to see, but I loved the old town. Thank you.
I am sure you will love Setenil de las Bodegas and the Roman ruins 🙂 I also agree about whitewashed villages looking even better during the sunset.
I hope you can visit it soon 🙂
I am glad that you have discovered a new place by reading the blog!
Thank you, Cosette! I hope you have the chance to visit Southern Spain soon 🙂
Marbella sounds incredible! So much to do, and so beautiful. I love all the outdoor opportunities too, not just hiking and paddling, but even strolling those amazing streets.
Many travellers think it is all about the beaches, but there’s so much else to do in Marbella and its surroundings 🙂 I think you will like it.
