Take a coach trip on your holiday this summer from Marbella City to Gibraltar,
the Spanish Island owned and ran by the British. The Rock of Gibraltar is the
major landmark of the region, currently being home to thousands of Monkeys
and the ancient Barracks of the 1704 War, whereby Gibraltars rights were taken
from Spain. Tourism is a significant industry with Gibraltar being a popular port
for cruise ships and day visitors from resorts in Spain . It is also a popular shopping
destination, and all goods and services are VAT free. Many of the large British high
street chains have branches or franchises lining the streets of Gibraltar including
Morrisons, Marks & Spencer and Topshop, as well as international retailers Tommy
Hilfiger, and Spanish clothing retailer Mango making an appearance in the line-up.

CITY CENTRE
Situated along the Costa del Sol, Marbella is Spains answer to St Tropez. This chic holiday resort is a favoured get-away among the rich
and famous and its not hard to see why. Theres an endless supply of
world-class restaurants, luxury hotels, spectacular golf courses, fashionable shops, a lovely marina and a vast number of lively bars and
clubs to keep you entertained til sunrise.
Marbella may be the most famous place on the Costa del Sol but there
are numerous other areas that are well worth a visit! There is a wealth
of things on offer in the surrounding region with each destination offering its own individual qualities. You can visit the white village Mijas
and wander the cobbled streets, dine in the mountains at Benahavis or
go down to Gibraltar to see the rock and the monkeys that reside there.
With the N340 coastal motorway traveling right across the Coast it is
extremely easy for those that are unfamiliar with the area to navigate
their way around the Coast! All the areas listed are within a two hour

LINED
STREETS OF
MARBELLA
drive of Marbella and hiring a rental car at Malaga Airport is often the most popular and cost
effective way of getting around! Marbella doesnt do anything by halves, and thats certainly
true of its beaches. Youve got 24 of them streaking their way across a 25-kilometre stretch from
Guadalmina to Las Chapas via Puerto Banus. They come with dark sand or pebbles. Most do
a great line in watersports, and several are backed by shops and restaurants on the Paseo Maritimo walkway.
Marbella has plenty more history, thanks to the Romans who left their sandalled mark in the
suburban San Pedro area. Here, you can visit their old baths and take in the ruins of the Rio
Verde Roman Villa. For trips further afield about an hour-and-a-half by bus theres Ronda,
a city sliced in half by the dramatic Tajo Gorge. One side has the old town, the other a new
quarter packed with smart shops and restaurants.

Bullfighting
FIGHTING
SPIRIT
Spain has always been famous for its bullfights as have other countries all over the
world.. In Spain the bullfight is called the
Fiesta Nacional (The national Sport). There
are few places in Spain where a bull-ring cant
be found within a short drive. It is the most
common thing associated with Spain, and
rightly so for its origins date back to 711AD
when the first bullfight took place in honour
of the crowning of King Alfons VIII. Every
week, all over Spain, many thousands of
Spaniards flock to the nearest bullring, but not
all Spaniards agree with the sport, or like it.
It is reported that each year, within Spain
alone, 24,000 bulls are killed in front of
an audience of 30 million people. The
bullfighting season usually runs from March to
October depending on Province. Bullfighting
was originally done on horseback and was a
sport reserved for the aristocracy.
