Description

Experience the old town of Marbella and immerse yourself in the many different facets of this great city. Your guide will show you everything and invite you to a tapas tasting at the end of the tour
A PRIVATE city tour of Marbella combined with a tapas tasting is a wonderful way to truly discover the historical and culinary heart of this charming coastal city. Marbella has so much more to offer than luxurious beaches and marinas. The old town ("Casco Antiguo") is full of picturesque streets, historic buildings, and numerous delicious tapas bars.

Start your PRIVATE walking tour in the central Alameda Park, a small, lush park with fountains and beautiful tiled benches. This is a relaxed starting point from which you can go directly into the Old Town.

Exit the park and stroll down Avenida del Mar, a wide pedestrian promenade lined with bronze sculptures by the famous artist Salvador Dalí. This open-air art gallery connects the old town with the beach and offers magnificent views of the sea.

From Avenida del Mar, walk into the old town. Your first destination is the Plaza de los Naranjos, the central square and the heart of the old town. The square is surrounded by historic buildings and adorned with orange trees and blooming flowers. Here, you will find the 16th-century town hall and the Casa del Corregidor, another important building.

Take time to stroll through the narrow, cobbled streets lined with whitewashed houses, colorful flowers, and small boutiques. The Old Town is full of small courtyards that invite you to linger, as well as art galleries and souvenir shops.

Just a few steps from the Plaza de los Naranjos is the Church of the Encarnación, the most important religious site in Marbella. This beautiful 16th-century church impresses with its baroque façade and richly decorated interior. Admission is free, and it's worth enjoying the tranquility and architectural charm.

Stroll through the Old Town and discover hidden squares such as Plaza de Santo Cristo with its small chapel or Plaza Altamirano, where you can enjoy a quiet moment.

Continue your walking tour and visit the remains of the Arab ramparts, from the time when Marbella was an important Moorish outpost. These walls are among the oldest structures in the city and are a reminder of its long history. From here, you have a beautiful view of the surrounding streets.

Near the wall, you will find the quiet Plaza Puente Ronda, which is perfect for a short break. Here you can soak up the atmosphere of the Old Town.

After the Old Town, your guide will treat you to tapas and two drinks in one of the oldest and most popular tapas bars. Next, we will visit Marbella's marina and Constitution Square, where Marbella's bullring is also located.

You will learn a lot about Marbella and the Costa del Sol during this tour.
