Marbella is both tabula rasa and palimpsest. It can be anything for anyone. You can meet a rock star in the morning and a member of the European royal family in the afternoon. There are not many places where two such unique personalities can intersect. To paraphrase Churchill, it is a kaleidoscope, wrapped in a mosaic, in a melting pot. The result of successive waves of visitors who have left their mark over the years, Marbella is a social archaeological site where generations have lived a life of sun-drenched leisure. Today, the popular image of Marbella is a kind of European Miami, but you need only scratch the surface of this glitzy place to return to the days when Marbella was a simpler place.
