Spring has just officially arrived, although the Costa del Sol has been enjoying sunshine and warm temperatures for weeks. If you’re looking for a dose of wonderful weather in a location that’s easy to get to, how about taking a spring break in Marbella? And to give you some extra inspiration and motivation, here are ten things to do while you’re there.
Enjoy some golf
This one’s obvious especially if you’re staying in Marbella where you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to first-class golf courses. But if you’re looking for the best deals, check out the dynamic prices at Rio Real. This unique system lets you choose the deal that suits you.
Take a stroll
Spring is easily warm enough and the beaches in Marbella are without their summer crowds. Don’t miss a long stroll along the sands during your spring break. Choose the beaches on the east side of Marbella, the best for walking almost as far as you like. Step out first thing for the sunrise and last thing for the sunset. Perfect!
See the flowers
A spring break in Marbella gives you the chance to see the countryside in its full glory plus enjoy the best of the flowers in the resorts. Estepona, known as the Garden of the Costa del Sol, comes into its best bloom in spring – don’t miss the hundreds of colourful flowers in the town centre.
Hear a legend
The Costa del Sol holds a year-round calendar of great concerts. This spring you can enjoy some world-famous legends on the stage including Bob Dylan who will be playing at Fuengirola Castle. See the full line-up of spring concerts on the Costa del Sol here.
Go international
The Costa del Sol is famous as a melting pot of all nationalities and nowhere do they come together better than at the International Fair in Fuengirola. Taking place on 30 April and 5 May, the event celebrates cultures from Russia to Argentina and from China to Scotland. Enjoy a day of true international spirit on your spring break in Marbella.
Admire Picasso
Marbella is just a short drive from Malaga, birth place to the most famous 20th century artist. Admire the painter’s talent this spring at the Picasso Museum in Malaga, home to a collection of unique works spanning his whole lifetime. And you can also see Olga Picasso, a temporary exhibition exploring Picasso’s artistic creations during the time he was married to his first wife. Find out more here.
