Local booking tip

If you’re planning to book a boat trip along Marbella’s coast during the summer, try to aim for a weekday morning rather than the afternoon or weekends. This tends to be cooler and less crowded. For tours in Marbella’s Old Town, spring or early autumn offer the best weather and fewer tourists, giving you a much better experience. Also, look for cooking classes in San Pedro rather than right in Marbella’s city centre, as they often feel more authentic and are easier to book last minute.
