The tour starts with the oldest monument: the ruins of Marbella Castle, perching on the higher part of the city. What’s left of the 10th-century Moorish citadel prominently stands in the heart of the Old Town, providing anyone passing by its weathered walls with a glimpse into the ancient history and rich culture of the city.

Then, discover the Church of Our Lady of the Incarnation. Not boasting an ornate exterior or a prime location, the white Baroque-style church dating to the 17th century has to its own a whole tranquil square surrounded by laden orange trees, adding to the serenity of the main religious hub of the coastal city.

Continue to meander through the maze of narrow cobbled paths and neat whitewashed houses adorned with rainbow flowers. The Old Town hides numerous delightful surprises in unexpected corners, but the highlight of all is the Orange Square. The heart of the atmospheric quarter looks like a colorful dream with prolific orange trees, blooming flower beds, quaint boutiques, and some of the most important buildings such as the 16th-century Town Hall and the Ermita de Santiago, the oldest place of worship in the city.

Amid the dynamic neighbourhood lies a quiet green oasis of Virgen del Rocío Fountain. The unique 18th-century ceramic fountain sets itself apart from the bustle with a lush rainforest garden, which makes the waterwork feel like a wonderland.

At some point on the sunny promenade, drop by Constitution Park, which is not only the green lung of Marbella but also home to a spectacular amphitheatre hosting lively music concerts, especially during summer months. If you are not a fan of dynamic crowds and just need a break, just note that the vast park also offers lovely cafés, bars, and a small observatory for beautiful views of the sea and the sky.
