Our couple spend wonderful time in Marbella.

The Phoenicians came to these parts, Romans too, followed by Visigoths; but it was the Moors who created the Golden Age of Andalusia.Arriving in711AD, they established an independent caliphate that prospered while the rest of Europe slithered into the Dark Ages
Marbella was part of that empire. Marbella is not simply a  fish ing village enlarged by modern tourism ,it's  a very old town whiz a history which stretches back two thousand years.

Wrote  PETER BOND  in his book "Impression of Marbella"
