Marbella is part of Spain’s Costa del Sol, Malaga. Marbella's 'micro-climate' ensures a pleasurable Mediterranean weather all year round, with bright sunny days for the greater part of the year. The combination of mountain peaks of the Sierra Blanca tucked in against the coastline promises a very mild winter with an average maximum temperature of 22.8º C and a minimum of 13º C. Summers are dry and hot and can reach temperatures that go well into the 30's. Fortunately, due to low humidity, the heat is comfortable and not sticky or overbearing.

The main attractions not to be missed are Funny Beach, Fuengirola Zoo, Selwo Safari Park, Selwo Marina, Mijas and Torremolinos Aquaparks and Tivoli World Amusement Park. Gibraltar is just one  hour by car, Málaga  - 45 minutes, Ronda - 60 minutes and Mijas - 35 minutes.
