Overview
On this self-guided walking tour, you’ll explore the charming old town of Marbella. Once a humble fishing village, Marbella is now one of the most glamorous destinations on the Spanish coast. As you stroll along the sun-drenched Mediterranean promenade, past Renaissance townhouses, and Moorish remnants, you’ll find out how iron foundries and sugar estates positioned Marbella at the forefront of Spain’s industrialization in the 1800s. You’ll also see the interplay of cultures that left their imprint on Marbella’s architecture, cuisine, and character, from Phoenician traders and Muslim sultans, to Bourbon kings and Franco. The tour ends at the majestic Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación (Church of Our Lady of the Incarnation), where you’ll discover hidden depth beneath the city’s glamorous surface. By the end of this tour, you’ll have a new appreciation for how centuries of cultural exchange and reinvention have created this jewel of the Costa del Sol.
