Country and People
Customs / Culture
Marbella and neighbouring Puerto Banus are the most important tourist destinations for the rich and affluent on the Costa del Sol.

Society in Marbella is a mix of British, Irish and Germans complemented by wealthy Arabs and Royalty from UAE and Saudi Arabia.
Traditions
Marbella is truly international and accommodates most tastes but it is still a Spanish town and offers excellent fish, meat and leather goods and ceramics markets and some very fine restaurants.
Religion
Roman Catholicism is the official religion but there are also worshippers of Islam.

Culinary SpecialitiesOwing to the extreme wealth of many of its residents, Marbella has some of the finest cuisine in the world. For those with pockets not quite so deep there is still a fabulous choice of reasonably priced restaurants offering paella and other seafood dishes and classic Spanish lamb. For lunch, many restaurants offer gazpacho cold soup, omelette and salad, veal, chicken and French fries / chips.
Lifestyle
The recession has impacted on Marbella as it has other regions of Spain but life is good because the weather is so kind. Away from the coast, the countryside is mountainous and beautiful and there are many delightful villages where lunch or dinner is not as eye-wateringly expensive as in Puerto Banus. Most entertainment is eating and socialising but there are clubs in Marbella and, of course, the soft sand of the beaches and the lapping Mediterranean.
Sights
Marbella is an attractive town but a succession of corrupt and now jailed councillors caused it to be seriously overdeveloped. However, inland, there is the mountain hideaway of Ronda, a small town with its own historic bullring that is accessed via a twisting mountainous road. Once there, the views are magnificent and the atmosphere within the stone walls is green, floral and relaxing. Well-worth the trip!
