Fun Things To Do in Marbella

Marbella lets the good times roll with a one-of-a-kind shopping experience. There are dozens and dozens of shops that will delight you to no end. Avenida Ricardo Soriano is the city's main artery and a shopping area par excellence. The place is named after the man responsible for bringing private investment and tourism to Marbella in the 1940s and 1950s. Wide and seemingly endless, especially if you're seeing it on foot, it's lined with shops, fashion boutiques, restaurants, and cafés. Booklovers will surely find something interesting at Libreria Papeleria Mata. This traditional bookstore stocks thousands of editions, everything from bestsellers to literary classics. If it's not in stock, they'll order it for you. The store also sells a range of stationery and a wide selection of pens, including ones for calligraphy. For the ultimate in leisure, a trip to Puerto Deportivo José Banús is the perfect indulgence. This famous marina was opened in 1970 by Prince Rainier of Monaco and his wife, Grace Kelly. It's now surrounded by expensive restaurants, outdoor cafes, bars and shops. If you want the good times to come to an end in Marbella, you'll literally have to shop till you drop.
