  • Even though Marbella is a busy city, there are many parks and green areas where you can relax, enjoy a summer BBQ, or go for a stroll with your significant other.
  • These are our selections for Marbella's most stunning outdoor areas.
  • The Divina Pastora neighbourhood and Marbella's old town are divided by the park known as Parque de la Represa. Friendly inhabitants like tortoises and geese reside there, and a sizable pond that a striking blue and white bridge can reach. Also found in Represa is the eccentric Bonsai Museum, which is home to Europe's most extraordinary collection of wild olive trees (and of course, bonsai trees) (and of course, bonsai trees).
  • In the heart of contemporary Marbella, Alameda Park evokes the feeling of a tropical retreat. Although it is modest, it is the ideal place to pause in the shade and do some people-watching before continuing sightseeing because it has lovely trees and an excellent 18th-century fountain.
  • One of the largest parks in the heart of Marbella, Parque de la Constitución was once a wealthy local's private garden. Although it is only a two-minute walk from the crowded beach promenade, the lush vegetation and palm palms quickly make you forget that you are in a metropolis. A café with outdoor seating and an auditorium (which also serves as the home of Marbella's Dance School) are available.

Many of the flights and flight-inclusive holidays on lowcostvibes.com which depart from the UK are financially protected by the ATOL scheme. Please ask us to confirm what protection may apply to your booking. If you do not receive an ATOL Certificate then the booking will not be ATOL protected. If you do receive an ATOL Certificate but all the parts of your trip are not listed on it, those parts will not be ATOL protected. This website is intended primarily to residents of the UK. Please see our terms and conditions for information, or for more information about financial protection and the ATOL Certificate go to: www.atol.org.uk/ATOLCertificate.
