Buying Fresh, Local Produce... Local Pharmacies... While many of Marbella's destinations are accessible on foot, the town's public bus system is another great way to get around town. Visitors interested in seeing and learning about the area may enjoy the tourist train, which offers a twenty minute ride starting at El Faro Street. Like many European towns, Marbella and the surrounding areas are home to open-air markets where local vendors sell fresh produce and more. One of the biggest on the Costa del Sol takes place in Puerto Banús on Saturdays at 9 in the morning. Or check out the Marbella Street Market every Monday, which draws 360 vendors of all stripes. Should a medical need or emergency arise on your trip, it's important to know that Marbella is home to two 24hour pharmacies: Farmacia Berdaguer on Avenida Ricardo Soriano and Farmacia Internacional on Calle Marqués del Duero. The town also has three major hospitals.
