The Marbella Paseo Maritimo:
The Marbella Paseo Maritimo promenade follows the coastline of Marbella town for 6 kilometers, with almost 2 kilometers laid in marble stone. All along the Paseo Maritimo there are restaurants, cafes, shops, stalls, malls, cinema, things to do and lots to see.The paseo is really popular as the views over the beaches and the fresh sea air is enjoyed by people just strolling along, watching the sun come up or go down. The Paseo Maritimo highlights the name of Marbella, which means Beautiful Sea.
Parque de la Alameda:
This lovely park full of greenery, with shade trees for passers-by, jasmines and bougeanvilleas, is half-way between the Paseo Maritimo boardwalk and the old part of the city. In the middle of the 18th century they stopped planting botanical species. At that time, it took up around 20,000 square metres and stretched as far as the old castle walls. Land was gradually lost as it was needed for new buildings. The park has been revamped several times becoming what is now known as Avenida del Mar, with half a dozen sculptures by Salvador Dali. In the centre, there's a large ceramic fountain, surrounded by ceramic benches. This is where the very old get together and retell their old love stories between the branches of the trees.
