Local advice you’ll appreciate

If you’re looking to experience Marbella like someone who lives here, try visiting the Mercadillo de Marbella on a Thursday morning. It’s a local flea market in the heart of town where you can find everything from fresh produce to crafts. Locals tend to avoid the bigger tourist markets and instead come here early to get the best picks. After wandering the stalls, stroll down to Plaza de los Naranjos for a coffee under the orange trees. It’s a relaxed way to enjoy the slower pace of Marbella outside peak tourist hours.
