What to see by foot: Marbella

There are many interesting sights and charming areas of the city that can be explored on foot. The town has several distinct districts, each with something different to offer the visitor.

The town's old quarter is an eccentric mix of ancient Marbella intermingled with modern cosmopolitan features. Here the visitor will find stately buildings and ancient remnants splashed in among art galleries, boutiques, bars and cafés.

The area was once the centre for its Arab occupants, but was demolished to incorporate the main square; and many Arab influenced remnants can still be seen. The infamous Alcazaba wall is a major attraction here, as is the fabled Orange Square. The square is home to the 16th century town hall, which is considered to be one of the city's finest buildings.

Other noteworthy buildings include the Chief Magistrate's house and the Apostle Santiago's Chapel (1552). The major thoroughfare of Salvador Rueda runs through this district.
Avenue del Mar is the city's main promenade and a hive of activity, of both visitors and locals alike. The promenade is notable for its extensive collection of Dali sculptures as well as its many classy restaurants and bars.
Similarly, the Paseo Maritimo is a popular waterfront promenade, which runs from Puerto Banus to Banana Beach, and is the focal point of modern Marbella. Avenida Ricardo Soriano is also bustling with activity; while Avenida Ramon y Cajal is lined with interesting Moorish architecture.
For art enthusiasts, Marbella is also home to the highly acclaimed Museum for Contemporary Spanish Engravings, located in the ancient Bazan Hospital. Once the former residence of the mayor, it now exhibits works by famous painters such as Picasso, Tapies and Chillida. Other well-visited sites around town include: the Encarnacin Church, famous for its stunning basilica; the San Juan de Dios Chapel; and the religiously significant Ermitage de Santiago.

Marbella also prides itself on its many attractive parks and gardens. The Jardin el Angel is particularly renowned as being one of the best botanical gardens on the Costa del Sol. Arroyo de la Represa Park and Parque de la Constitucion are similarly scenic and offer a pleasant respite from the hot afternoon sun.
