Things to do in Marbella, Andalucia: The Best Sightseeing Tours

May 8, 2022 Leida Jutras

In the chic, sun-drenched Costa del Sol town of Marbella, hints of its former Moorish occupation mingle with modern-day resort amenities. Bask on the sands of famous La Fontanilla beach or ricochet among the area's family-oriented water, wildlife and theme parks. Experience the Andalusian charm of the historic quarter, filled with whitewashed buildings, remnants of a ninth-century Arab fortress and fragrant orange trees. End a relaxing day with a dish of the cold almond soup ajoblanco and some of the region's excellent dessert wine.

Its a fascinating place with a very interesting history. I'd highly recommend a visit here - there is lots to do and see from a visit to the upper Rock and the monkeys, to a bit of shopping, a nice meal in the square or a visit to the new 'Ocean Quarter' with its port and lovely bars.

excellent tour and wonderful stories about the life and conquest of the fortress. Also great history of the Nazari kingdom of southern spain and how it finally fell to the christian king and queen in the V century . The Malaga Alcazaba stood for a long time as the protector of the Malaga trade route from Granada to the mediterranean. Our guide Mohammed was very knowledgeable and full of passion and rigor , a great guy.

10/10 , 100% recommend! This was our first go at canyoning, and we went straight for the level 2. I'm not the biggest fan of heights or water , but wanted to try something new and to get the adrenaline going. This did all of that. It was an amazing morning out and Sebastian is absolutely world class. He make sure safety is the number 1 priority and makes the trip even more enjoyable with his kind and humorous personality. If you are thinking of whether you can do this or would enjoy it, then go for it, we are delighted we did and will be returning to Sebastian for the quad trip next.

My Girlfriend and I did this tour in may 2021. We were picked up by our guide Nicky in Mijas. Nicky is a great guide, very knowable about wine and very friendly, and good with small talk. We visited 3 different vineyards, each with their different characteristics. The first one being the biggest, and they made lovely wines. The second one a bit smaller, but very good wines and owned by a family. The third one very small, but so cozy and with amazing wines. We were very surprised about the wine quality in all 3 places. From all the wine tours we have done in Mallorca, Madrid, Napa Vally etc, this one was by far the best. The wines can defiantly compare with the best, and the our guide Nicky did a great job story telling about the region etc. Would recommend this any time!

Nicky was the perfect host - professional and knowledgeable as well as charming and with a great sense of humour! Everything was arranged to perfection. Ronda is a fabulous wine growing area with stunning scenery and the winemakers we were introduced to were really passionate about their wines and excited to share their stories with us. It was a very personalised tour and being hosted by the owners of the vineyards made it that little bit more special. We tasted a good range of wines, accompanied by local tapas and then a super lunch at the second vineyard, all of which were delicious. To finish the day, we had the good fortune of being serenaded by the owner with flamenco music played on his Spanish guitar as we watched the sun go down. All in all, an unforgettable experience, I can´t wait to go back again!

On this yachting trip your satisfaction is nearly always guaranteed. On windy days you will experience the adrenalin and exhilaration of being out at sea with only the wind power. 100% in contact with nature. No noise other than the breaking waves. On calm days when there is not enough wind to pull up the sails, we will have to use the engine to cruise along. With a bit of luck you will get to see dolphins swimming along side us as if they were escorting us to our destination. During the summer months going for a swim out at sea is a great attraction and the more adventurous may try out our Stand Up Paddle board.

Inclusions: Snacks, Bottled water, Alcoholic Beverages, Soft drinks, Use of Snorkelling equipment, Stand Up Paddel board (SUP)
