Marbella – Discover Moorish Heritage

A day trip to Malaga (60 km) is definitely worth the effort. We visit the Picasso museum and the museum of modern art. The magnificent Alhambra citadel in Granada (200 km) is one of the most beautiful examples of the Moorish influence on Spanish architecture and is also worth a visit. The historic centre of Ronda (62 km) displays many Moorish characteristics and is located on a rock plateau steeply sloping on all sides and separated from the modern area of the city by a 100 m deep gorge spanned by three bridges.

  • Excursions

    Besides the covered market in Marbella (Monday to Friday), there are many weekly markets in the surrounding area:

     

    • Ojén, Istán (14 km) 
    • Casares, Mijas (40 km) 
    • Ronda, Malaga (60 km) 
    • Gibraltar (85 km) 
    • Ferries to Morocco in Algeciras (100 km)

  • Attractions

    In Granada, 200 km away, you will find the Alhambra and in Seville (200 km), you can see the third largest cathedral in the world.

  • Museums

    Andalusia has a rich and ancient history. The Greeks and Romans were just as much at home here as were the Moors, until the land was re-conquered. Evidence of all of these occupiers can be seen throughout Andalusia.

     

    • The Museum of Engraving in Marbella
    • The Roman Mosaics in San Pedro (6 km)
    • Learn about the region and its people at the Folk Museum in Estepona (30 km).
    • The Picasso Museum and the Museum of Modern Art in Málaga (60 km) and the Alcazaba fort

  • Nature

    For example, you can round off an excursion into the hinterland of Marbella with a visit to an orange plantation. Alternatively, use the residence as a starting point for an excursion in a cross-country vehicle combined with a horse ride. Learn all about the underwater world of the dolphins:

     

    • Sea Life in Benalmadena (40 km) 
    • Dolphin tours from Estepona (30 km)

  • Culinary activities

    Apart from paella, Spain’s national dish, you really must try some of the region’s other fish specialities. The residence itself holds fish evenings and wine tastings where you can enjoy the local produce.

  • Courses

    Learn Spanish, the commercial language of the world – on the spot and from experienced teachers.
