This family-friendly beach features a promenade, parking areas, restaurants, showers, restrooms and a lot more. Visitors can take sun loungers and parasols and relax on the beach. They can even take water sports equipments on rent.
This is the city's main artery and the shopping area par excellence. The man who gave his name to this popular avenue was originally from Salamanca but he soon earned the nickname "the Marbellan" and the title of the city's "adopted son," granted by the town hall in 1952. He was responsible for bringing private investment and the tourism industry to Marbella in the 1940s and 1950s. Real-estate investor and promoter of the city, he built residential zones, an unusual thing to do at that time. He may have been forgotten over time, but the avenue that bears his name still represents the best of the city. Wide and seemingly endless, especially if you're seeing it on foot, it's lined with shops, fashion boutiques, restaurants, and cafés.
The 16th century church contains a figure of Jesus that is carried through the town in an annual procession.
Only the church and its small 16th century vegetable garden are left of the former monastery building. Particularly worth seeing is the square altar chapel decorated with 17th century paintings. Also important is the 19th century sculpture of the Blessed Virgin Mary, named the Desolate, as well as a gilded reliquary studded with precious stones.
