I need to rent a car with a driver in malaga, Spain? Any Ideas?


What company offers that, i want to check rates .. thanks

Suggest you contact your hotel and ask them for a recommendation.

I just got back from a fantastic vacation in Marbella. I phoned the concierge of my hotel ahead of time and he arranged for an excellent driver. The two best hotels/resorts are The Marbella Club and The Hotel Puente Romano. The concierges there are so helpful.

Here are some ideas if you visit Marbella:

Casco Antiguo (Old Quarter), Marbella
This old neighborhood is full of romance, with narrow, winding cobblestone streets: great for evening strolls.
Attraction type: Neighborhood


Puerto Banus Marina, Marbella
Attraction type: Neighborhood; Marina


Paseo Maritimo, Marbella
A pleasant boardwalk lined with shops, video game arcades, restaurants and cafes.
Attraction type: Flea/street market


Artola Golf, Marbella
Attraction type: Golf course


Shopping is a favorite activity of tourists on vacation anywhere and people visiting Marbella are no exception. Marbella offers a combination of shopping malls and specialty stores for visitors to purchase needed items, gifts for family members and local handicrafts to commemorate their trips. The La Canada Shopping Center is the most popular mall in Marbella. More information about shopping in Marbella is available at http://www.andalucia.com/marbella/shoppi...

Puerto Ban煤s

Without doubt the place to be seen. If you are famous then there is no risk of not getting caught by the Paparazzi. Good beach just to the east of the marina protected by a jetty. If you feel like treating yourself spend a day relaxing in the Marbella Club beach club.

Arrive early as the front line sun loungers go fast. Parking difficult.

Museum of Spanish Contemporary Engravings

This building was formerly the residential palace of the Mayor, Don Alonso de Baz谩n who later, in a generous will, donated it to the town to serve as a hospital for the poor. Today, the building carries out a noteworthy social service as a museum, as well as housing the offices of the Marbella Cultural Delegation. The museum is the first of its type in Spain and exhibits works by Picasso, Mir贸, Tapies, Chillida and several other famous painters.

Seafront promenade & beaches

The extensive promenade is ideal to experience and join the Spanish in the traditional "paseo". Flanked by pavement cafes, restaurants, this promenade is one of the most attractive on the Costa del Sol and has the added advantage of being within minutes of the centre of town.

Marbella Mosque

This beautiful temple overlooks the golden mile just to the west of the city centre. It was the the first mosque to be constructed since the re conquest in the fifteenth century.

Puerto Banus

Possibly the ultimate in coastal charisma. Puerto Banus marina is located just west of Marbella. This is the place to be pampered yacht side and ogle those fabulous luxury yachts while sipping a drink at one of the many open air restaurants and bars.

Flea & Antique Market
Saturday morning only

Next to the bullring of Puerto Banus is a great rambling flea market, a mini "Rastro" where you can find everything from a wooden elephant to a woolly jumper. Prices are good but you may need to haggle.

Parks & Gardens

Marbella prides is parks and gardens. Even the smallest open spaces have been carefully planted with beautiful flowers. Nagueles Park, Parque de las Medranas, Parque de la Constitucion, La Alameda, King Fahiad Gardens are the names of the larger parks and gardens.

Surrounding Scenery

The magnificent mountain known as "La Concha" (the shell) is part of a range that extends across the skyline to the village of Oj茅n. Take the road to Oj茅n and turn left into the beautiful park called Juanar, where the mountainside is covered in pine trees, pinsapos, walnut and olive trees, as well as wild orchids - and some wild animals, including Hispanic wild goats, eagles and Royal owls. At one of its highest points stands "El Mirador" where you can look down on one of the most spectacular views of Marbella and its surroundings.


Enjoy all the water sports on the fabulous beaches. :)
