If you want to get in the city by air, the nearest airport is Malaga Airport. The long-distance bus is always very busy in summer but the price is very cheap. As to the train, there is no station for Marbella right now but is on the list of the plan in the near future. Therefore, why not take a taxi once you get off the plane in Malaga Airport, which will only cost you 68.
The America's first lady Michelle Obama and her 9-year-old daughter Sasha are right now on a tour in Marbella. She booked 30 rooms in one of the most luxury hotel in Villa Padierna which engenders the questions that if she is spending tax-payers' money.
This is not like a simple tour, but more of a chance to help Marbella restore its reputation. Marbella was one of the favorites for the Kennedys and was considered as a destination for the rich and famous, but the recent corruptions of the officials such as the former mayor and the present mayor has affected its reputation a lot negatively. As a consequence, in 2006, the Madrid government dismissed the entire town hall administration once for all.
Besides political corruptions, it was the paradise for Russian, Irish and British gangsters as they took over a lot of bars, restaurants and beaches in the town. Some British media even have labeled Marbella as the capital of what they call 'Costa del Crime.'
The time, the US first lady's visit is undoubtedly to indicate that Marbella is still a top tourist destination and to show the changes which has done by the new council that was elected four years ago.
As estimated, the first lady's visit will be reported by at least 8000 media and brings publicity which worth 1 billion dollars.
Actually, Mr. Obama intended to come to Marbella to celebrate his birthday with his families, but it was denied by the White House.
Since this is a place exclusive to the wealthy, why not hire a car to indulge yourself once? You can not only enjoy Marbella but travel along the southern coastline in Spain.
