Combine a good lunch with a nice walk
Undoubtedly the most famous of Marbella, the prestigious Golden Mile. The most expensive part when it comes to buying a house or apartment is located between Puerto Banus and Marbella town. A beautiful 7 kilometers for walking (or 14 if you walk there and back). We walk this route twice a week. Why? Because it is a beautiful part with great restaurants, beautiful views and a very good vibe. From sports people to Spanish families on the beach. Finish with a Gin Tonic at our favorite MC Beach!
Parking
You can actually start anywhere, but the best thing is of course to start from Puerto Banus and walk the entire Golden Mile. Puerto Banus has many parking spaces and garages. Because it is a route along the coast, you can board at any time. You can also park at
, shorten the route a bit and still take the most beautiful part.
The walk
It is best to walk this route in the morning. It is busy but in a nice way, people are running, cycling or just walking. Due to the wide path there is enough space for everyone. The route is beautiful and takes you past many beautiful places with beautiful views. Enjoy two Spanish sun-tanned seniors resting together on a bench in the sun or fathers running with their children.

The walk has many beautiful viewpoints to the sea, the hills and Marbella. But it is also beautiful from the sea. From the pier of

Coffee, drinks, bites & lunch
We like to combine our bi-weekly walking tour with breakfast, coffee, a drink or a delicious lunch on the beach. Below are the hotspots that you will encounter and that you should not miss.

Conclusion
A great route, we have walked it literally hundreds of times. Every time we see new things and enjoy them intensely. Combine it with a coffee, drink or lunch and you have an unforgettable experience. The big advantage is that most people come to Marbella more often, have a second home or live there, if you come for the first time there is a good chance that you will come back soon. So don't try to do everything at once, but enjoy and take your time.
