Ereda’s Adventures

One of the highlights of my trip was discovering every single beach Marbella has to offer. From the lively Playa de la Fontanilla and the family-friendly Playa de Venus, to the more relaxed Playa de Nagüeles, and the charming Playa de Cabopino — I made sure to soak in the unique vibe each beach brought. The Mediterranean Sea here isn’t the typical crystal-clear turquoise; the water is a bit less transparent and the seabed is full of stones. Sometimes, the stones were surprisingly large and hurt my feet and legs when I waded in — definitely an unpleasant surprise! But despite that, the natural beauty of the coastline with its lush palm trees made every moment by the sea simply breathtaking.

Marbella, nestled in the heart of Andalusia, is quite possibly the most beautiful beach city in Spain. I recently had the absolute best time exploring this vibrant, sun-soaked destination — and honestly, it’s hard to put into words how much I enjoyed every moment.

Mornings in Marbella were something truly special. For breakfast, I was served the simplest yet most delicious meal — two slices of fresh bread topped with a tomato that was a bit on the edge of ripe, drizzled with golden olive oil, sprinkled with salt, and paired with a cup of rich coffee. It might sound basic, but it was honestly the best breakfast I’ve ever had in my life. I enjoyed this humble feast two or three times during my stay, and it never failed to brighten my morning.

Of course, no trip to Marbella is complete without indulging in the local cuisine. I savored authentic tapas — from crispy patatas bravas to flavorful gambas al ajillo — all perfectly complemented by cold, refreshing beers. The city’s food scene is vibrant and full of delightful surprises at every corner.

Marbella’s city center is a treasure in itself. The entire area is wonderfully walkable, filled with picturesque streets, charming plazas, and colorful buildings. Strolling through the historic old town, I felt wrapped in a perfect blend of culture and modern life. Every alleyway seemed to invite exploration, and every corner was picture-perfect.

One important tip for anyone planning a visit: dress well. Marbella is effortlessly elegant and stylish, and the atmosphere calls for looking your best. Whether you’re heading out for dinner or just walking around, the city’s beautiful, fashionable vibe makes you want to match its charm.

In short, Marbella is a destination that enchants you with its beaches, culture, food, and sheer beauty. I’m already dreaming about my next visit — and can’t recommend it enough to anyone who loves a mix of sun, sea, and Spanish flair.
