| ESTEPONA |
Estepona se ubica en el extremo occidental de la costa malagueña, a unos
kilómetros del límite provincial con Cádiz. Esta privilegiada ubicación atrajo hace
más de dos mil años a los fenicios, quienes hicieron de Astapa un importante
puerto comercial mediterráneo.
Estepona ha sabido conservar en la actualidad su protagonismo, gracias a las
importantes infraestructuras turísticas que ha creado en torno a sus magníficas
playas. La de La Rada es una de las más emblemáticas. Situada junto al centro
de la ciudad, este extenso arenal queda enmarcado por un largo paseo
marítimo con palmeras y dispone de todo tipo de servicios para disfrutar del sol
y del mar en cualquier época del año. Otras playas de gran belleza son las de
La Galera, Bahía Dorada, El Saladillo o la conocida playa naturista de Costa
Natura, en Arroyo Vaquero.
El municipio cuenta con un notable puerto deportivo, que ofrece la posibilidad
de practicar todo tipo de deportes náuticos, como la vela, el submarinismo o la
pesca deportiva.
Situado a escasos kilómetros de Sotogrande, Estepona es también un paraíso
del golf. Tanto los jugadores noveles como los ya iniciados en este deporte,
podrán disfrutar de las selectas instalaciones que ofrecen sus campos,
considerados entre los mejores de Europa.
| MARBELLA |
from Malaga airport, Marbella is one of the Mediterranean coasts most
representative tourist venues. Considered unofficially as the capital of the
Costa Del Sol, this cosmopolitan town with luxury and simplicity living side by
side, has an impressive infrastructure of hotels, yacht harbours, a unique
historic environment and a privileged climate protected by the Sierra Blanca
mountain range.
It is mostly for its sunny climate and sandy beaches that Marbella is best known
and most importantly its jet set lifestyle that has attracted the rich and famous
to its shores particularly with the development of Puerto Banus, the world’s
most famous port.
The truly rich don’t stay in Marbella itself. They lie around, on phenomenally
large and luxurious yachts at the marina of Puerto Banus which hosts inside its
installations 915 berths.
This famous marina located next to San Pedro De Alcantara and minutes drive
from Marbella town centre has been the main attraction of the city and in the
last decade has grown continuously turning it into the best Marina in Europe.
Today, it is filled with luxurious shops such as Hermes, Cartier, Versace, one of
the best department stores in Spain (El Corte Ingles), a shopping centre, a
casino, numerous bars, bistros and restaurants offering everything from simple
tapas and pizzas to lobster, caviar and champagne.
Puerto Banus is well worth a visit. Take a stroll in the port and check out the
yachts, you will not believe the size of some of these yachts, some about the
size of a small ferry.
It is for its sunny climate, sandy beaches and luxury lifestyle that Marbella is
best known, but the city is full of history found in every street corner where
numerous monuments bear witness to every civilisation that has occupied it.
Its origins dates all the way back to Roman times from which abundant remains
are to be found. The Rio Verde Roman villa and the Guadalmina thermal baths
are few discoveries of this past civilisation.
Under the Moors, Marbella prospered. During their period they turned it into a
walled in city, building a castle and surrounding the city with a moat with just
three entrances: from the sea, from Ronda and from Malaga. The castle walls
remains today but the moat and the doors have disappeared.
In 1485, when the Catholics Monarchs Isabella and Ferdinand De Castile came
into power, they changed its name to Marbella (beautiful sea). In the old town
centre, our lady's church, the chief magistrate house and St John's hospital
were all built during the Christian re-conquest. During this period and
throughout the 16th century, the urban structure of the town underwent
important changes. The centre of the Muslim Medina (today the old town) was
demolished to open the square (today the famous Orange Square) and a new
street (Calle Nueva) in order to communicate the square with the Puerto Del
Mar (Sea entrance).
Surrounded by "El Kasbah wall" the ruins of an Arab castle and narrow white
washed streets, the square has almost remained unchanged since the 16th
century.It was built after Marbella was re-conquered from the Moors in 1485
and was to become the administrative centre of the city. It is also home to the
16th century Town Hall and tourist office. "Ermita de Santiago", also in the
Orange square is the most ancient religious monument in the city dating back to
the 15th century right after the re-conquest of Marbella. "The Chief magistrate
house" dating back to 1552 and situated to the left of the townhall is another
monument to visit. In the and situated to the left of the townhall is another
monument to visit. In the "San Juan De Dios chapel", one can see the mixture of
cultures. In this Christian building, ordered to be built by the Catholic Kings, we
can still find Christian building, ordered to be built by the Catholic Kings, we can
still find proof of the fact that this land once belonged to the Kingdom of
Granada. "Nuestra Señora De La Encarnacion Church" is the most important
building in the old town centre. The main façade of the building is adorned with
a beautiful red stone portal worked in baroque style.beautiful red stone portal
