The Best Traditional Charm Restaurants in Marbella

In Marbella, a certain architectural sensibility endures away from the main beachfront. Within the quiet, whitewashed lanes of the Casco Antiguo, purpose is determined not by spectacle, but by the climate and the position of the sun. It is a design language of thick walls, private courtyards, and wrought-iron balconies that create patterns of shade on the street below. Here, the coolness of terracotta tile underfoot is a practical consideration, as is the orientation of a room to catch a late afternoon breeze. This is a considered, regional approach to building.
