A car hire in Marbella from Auto Europe is the ideal way to explore the wonderful Andalusian coast. Imagine white sandy beaches, warm sun beating down from the blue sky. Marbella has a good consistent climate and is a great destination to be lazy during the day on the beach and dance the night away at the many restaurants and lively bars! You will find the old town white washed buildings very welcoming, inviting you to sit down and sample "una cerveza" (local beer) and local food. The old town is home to the ancient city walls of two historical suburbs of the city, the Barrio Alto and the Barrio Nuevo. Park your car in the street and walk around the old town viewing the Chapel of Santiago, the oldest religious building in the city. Another building to check out is the Church of Santa Maria de la Encarnación, which is believed to have been built in the 15th century. Enjoy your lunch in the Orange Square, (Plaza de los Naranjos) the old town centre of Marbella, where you will find many restaurants to choose from, nestled amongst the orange trees.
After spending the day on the beach or in the old town, take your car hire from Marbella and drive along the coast to Malaga or drive to Puerto Banus where you can wander along the port admiring the wonderful yachts and try some cocktails!
