3 experiences not to miss... Ronda... Ranked one of the top three most beautiful villages in Spain, nearby Ronda (about one hour's drive from Marbella) offers sightseers dramatic mountain views and a quaint town centre. Be sure to see the three historical, arched bridges that span Ronda's 100-metre gorge. Then spend some time strolling the village, soaking up history along with the sun... including the Ronda bullring, one of Spain's oldest. ​ 1 Charter Fishing... Don't miss the opportunity to fish in the Mediterranean waters around Marbella. Depending on the time of year, you can reel in Tuna, Swordfish, Barracuda, and Red Porgy...just to name a few. We suggest a charter fishing tour with Oscar, who offers a wide range of charters for different ability levels and prices.​His 40-foot boat, Luna, can hold up to 10 people for an adventure on the sea. ​ 2 Puerto Banús... Puerto Banús is a luxury marina studded with mansion-like yachts, located southwest of Marbella in Nueva Andalucía. Here, jet-setters flock for renowned designer shopping, fine dining, and thumping nightlife.​ The world's rich and famous holiday in Puerto Banús, so if you come to visit, be prepared for a celebrity sighting. 3 3 Events & Festivals... Marbella Luxury Weekend... Starlite Festival... Champagne Spray Parties... Puerto Banús takes centre stage for Marbella Luxury Weekend, playing host to fashion shows for high-end brands like Bang & Olufsen, Bulgari, Cartier, Salvatore Ferragamo and Versace.​Cars, jewelry, and fine dining are also part of the weekend spectacle, which usually occurs in June. For a month every summer, the quarry of Marbella brings together a range of entertainments including film premieres, fashion shows, art exhibits and food from five continents. International music artists such as Enrique Iglesias, Steve Aoki, Lenny Kravitz and Andrea Bocelli have all headlined. For the young and young at heart, Marbella's nightclubs are home to Champagne Spray Parties, which are exactly how they sound. In summertime, head to Ocean Club or Pangea, both in Puerto Banús to douse yourself in bubbly, dance, and take a dip in a sparkling pool. An experience you won't forget!
