I will be on vacation in Marbella - Spain in two weeks. Anyone have any tips what to do there?
Buy a blind fold! Fat brits like to roam / sunbathe naked. Hmm southern spain in august, it's going to be brutally hot. I wouldn't pack much. you'll eat light during the day. As i remember, the beaches right around marbella are rocky... so get some pointers on where to go for the sandy nicer beaches. If you've never been to spain before...
Travel to Sevilla - a couple cool churches, the giralda tower, one of the supposed graves of christopher columbus, flamenco dances, and so on.
Granada and see Alhambra - an amazing moorish castle. You'll appreciate the running water as it tends to be 10-12* cooler around the palace than anywhere else as a result of all of the pools, fountains, etc.
Ferry across the straight of gibraltar, to morroco and expierence a muslim culture. warning if you're female, have a male traveling companinon and stick close to him. the men are very forward and pushy trying to sell to women, and are especially forceful with blonde women. But it's a beautiful city ... quite a shock for most people ... especially westerners who's views of muslim culture and way of life come from movies.
Check out www.marbella.com, tons of information for you there. Go to Plaza Beach or Ocean Club in Puerto Banus. After 11 PM check out Pangea in Purto Banus. If you need more tips just hit me up I live there since 1998.
