Attracting the world over, Marbella
combines a rare, peaceful mixture of
international faces, cultures and trends,
unique to this city and its famous
surrounding areas, such as Puerto Banús.
Situated 6 kilometres from the town centre,
this port is famous for its alluring dock, for
hosting the rich and famous, actors and
other artists as well as offering a
spectacular choice of venues for
international gastronomy, shopping and
exotic lifestyle.
Among some of the traditional festivities, Marbella honours the patron Saint Bernabé, around
the 11th of June and San Pedro de Alcántara, around the 19th of October. They celebrate
pilgrimages on the 3rd of May, the “Romería a la Cruz de Juanar” and the “Romería de San
Bernabé” in June. “Virgen del Carmen” on the 16th of July, is a very important celebration
because they worship the virgin that traditionally protects the fishermen at sea.
Almost the entire municipality of Estepona is dominated by the
majestic Sierra Bermeja range. This massif is formed of volcanic rocks
known as periodite, a mineral rich in iron oxide, that imparts a
characteristic reddish tinge to the terrain. The Paraje Natural (Nature
Park) of Los Reales de Sierra Bermeja (highest point 1,449 metres) is
located in this setting. Here are found the largest masses of periodite
in southern Europe. This natural space, with an area of 1,236 hectares,
also preserves the only forest of Spanish firs on this type of rock.
The preceding may give some idea of this area’s extraordinary
ecological value. This translates visually into an beautiful scenery,
especially at the highest elevations, which command an extremely
broad panoramic view encompassing not only the coast but also the
Atlas mountain range on the neighbouring continent of Africa.
In the lower regions of the municipality the waters that come down from
the mountains have formed several short rivers in the eastern part,
including the Padrón, Castor, and Velerín, on whose banks citrus and
fruit trees grow, while in the west, and in some areas that meet the
sea, one again sees fruit orchards and, even more frequently, broad
fields of grain, low brush and grazing lands. This is in frank contrast to
the coastal strip, where, besides the village itself, endless urban
developments have sprung up, as is to be expected of a first class
tourist locality.
