โI never bother to look at sunsetsโ said no one, everโฆ
There’s something truly magical about a sunset.ย Itโs the sign of new beginnings after all. But the sunsets in Marbella, they are something to write home about!ย Those idyllic moments where the sky becomes a canvas painted with hues of red, pink, orange, and gold seem to stay with you long after the sun dips below the horizon.
But are all sunsets the same? We think not. That’s why we’ve put together an insider’s guide to the best views as the sun goes down in Marbella.

Puerto Banรบs Promenade:
Visit the picturesque promenade of Puerto Banรบs. Here, the luxurious yachts provide the perfect backdrop for a stunning sunset.

La Concha Mountain:
