Marbella in the spring time
Spring is a fresh, inspiring time of year in most parts of the world, let alone Marbella. Here it usually arrives early in March, ensuring that this sunny corner of Europe is bathed in gentle sunlight and cloaked in the beautiful colours and floral fragrances of nature’s abundance.
Though Marbella lies within the Mediterranean climatic and vegetation belt, its microclimate allows both temperate and semitropical plants and flowers to flourish, creating uplifting displays at every turn, in gardens, parks, fields and hillsides. Combined with deep blue skies, perhaps dotted with little white cotton wool clouds, and the sparkling Mediterranean Sea, this really is a fresh and inspiring time of year.
For us at Magna Estates as with other locals, it is still too early to hit the beaches, but visitors seek out the sand, sun beds, poolside, beachside chiringuito bars and cafés to soak up the year’s early sunrays. Players flock to the many golf courses and tennis and padel clubs fill up, while thoughts of inland excursions or visits to Tarifa, the region’s surf paradise, begin to appear in people’s minds.
Amid of all this, you can head off to the Sierra Nevada and enjoy Europe’s longest ski season on the slopes of these majestic mountains just two hours from Marbella. Marbella’s famous beachside promenade the Paseo Marítimo blossoms at this time of year, while the cafés and trendy spots of Puerto Banús fill with relaxed crowds overlooking renewed activity on the assembled yachts and sailing boats.
For those with an interest in Marbella, this is a wonderful time of year to get an impression of this elegant resort town and sample its enviable lifestyle at a time when most of Europe is still in the grip of winter. Visit us with the almond blossom in the trees and explore Magna Estates’ extensive range of properties to rent and buy.
