Like any traditional Andalusian city, Marbella celebrates the relationship between the ancient and the new. The Old Town (or Casco Antíguo, in Spanish) is a must-go place to visit - its historical buildings and maze of cobblestoned streets are filled with shops and fancy restaurants where you can delight yourself by tasting sophisticated Mediterranean cuisine or traditional flavorsome tapas. There is no way your visit to Old Town is complete until you visit the active Orange Square, located right in the centre of this neighbourhood with cheerful cafés where you can enjoy a good old glass of wine or any other fresh beverage.

It's important to stay relaxed in order to avoid stress. You can find all the peace and quiet on the green parks of Alameda and Parque de la Constitución. Alameda is located on the south of Old Town and it is famous for its Andalusian tiles that cover the iconic central fountain, as well as benches decorated with traditional tile, not to mention the number of floral species and tropical plants that you can find in there.
