So last month I went back to Marbella (as in Costa del Sol, Andalucìa, Southern Spain). a place I've been going to about ten times since I was 15. Marbella and its port Puerto Banùs are known to be a jetset place where rich people parade their expensive cars back and forth to their even more expensive villas and yachts.
Due to its close location to the Gibraltar and Morocco, the area has also one of the highest crime rates in Europe as it's a popular place for smugling of drugs to and from Africa. So with all these rich snobs and criminals about, what makes us return to Marbella again and again?
The mountains and the sea and the lush parks and gardens....
Puerto Banùs looks like a quaint little fishing village and it's got a lovely little beach bar called Tramps where the owner always greets us as old friends.
The same does Pedro, the owner of Marbella Patio. We've celebrated numerous birthdays in that place and Pedro is always up for the challenge no matter how big the company.
And then there's the Old Town and the Orange Square where sitting there as the sun sets makes you not want to be anywhere else in the entire world.
And that's it, really.... :)
