Marbella is a place of contrasts—both a blank canvas and a layered cultural palimpsest. It draws an eclectic mix of people, from rock stars to European royalty, creating a unique social crossroads. Though often seen today as a glamorous “European Miami,” the city retains traces of its simpler past, especially in its old town, a maze of narrow whitewashed streets where traditions like Easter processions continue unchanged. Marbella’s character has been shaped by generations of visitors, including figures like Prince Alfonso von Hohenlohe, whose legacy persists. In this richly illustrated volume, historian and journalist Nicholas Foulkes explores Marbella’s diverse facets—from mountains and beaches to historic neighborhoods and vibrant nightlife—through personal narrative and vivid imagery.
