Overnight in Marbella

We had spent two days in Malaga, the pension was booked up leading into the weekend so we jumped on an early bus for Marbella instead, just overnight, but we thought that was enough.

Marbella is a lovely little scenic town with a couple of features, the old town is of Arab descent with small windy streets and the marina/beach area full of sunburnt English tourists with what I could tell northern accents.

The old town is small, really small with a couple of lovely plaza that come to life in the evening.

The church, Our Lady of the Incarnation is pretty much the centre of the old town, from what I could gather, was gearing up for a wedding.

The old castle is pretty much built up with housing and shops, you can't go and enter like you can for most old castles.

We walked around and viewed the outer wall, that was pretty much it, there wasn't much to see inside.

The beach was all action, drinking and fighting right in front of us - and that was just the women.

The town was full of English tourists, the beach is pretty much the main attraction for the English escaping the drab weather of the home country even in summer.
