Distances from Marbella. Geography Located at the heart of the Costa del Sol, Marbella is, without a doubt, the jewel of the coast. With its Mediterranean architecture, the resort offers many possibilities to its thousands of visitors: 27 km of beaches, numerous
golf courses, world-famous marinas, luxury hotels, excellent
restaurants, shopping
centres, and a vibrant nightlife. All this is set in an area of great natural
beauty between the sea and the mountains. Thanks to its geographical location and the mountain chains that surround it, Marbella enjoys a special microclimate without cold winters or stiflingly hot summers and an annual average temperature of 19º. The sun shines 320 days of the year and there are less than 50 rainy days. November and December are the wettest months. History The origins of the town date back to 1600 BC. The Romans founded a settlement here called Salduba and it was conquered by the Muslims in the 8th century AD when they invaded the Iberian Peninsula. Under their mandate it became a prosperous town with the name of Marbi-la. The local architecture still maintains an Arabic-Mediterranean style. In the centuries following the conquest by the Catholic Monarchs in 1485, Marbella has become a typical Andalusian town with narrow alleys, whitewashed houses, and flower-filled squares and
gardens, all set on the shores of the warm, blue Mediterranean sea.
