Road trips from Marbella

Road trips from Marbella

Just outside the town, you have the whole of the Costa del Sol at your doorstep. With your car hire in Marbella, you can drive along the coast, exploring white sandy beaches and a variety of other scenic spots.

Gibraltar

In around one hour, you can drive to the British territory of Gibraltar, on the southern tip of Spain. From here, you can look across the strait of Gibraltar to the Atlas mountains in Africa. It’s a popular shopping destination due to lower taxes, and you might also spot some of the local Barbary macaques, which are the only monkeys native to Europe.

Granada

Here you can check out the famous Alhambra building, a palace and fortress complex that is one of the most famous examples of Moorish architecture. It’s probably the most-visited monument in all of Spain, and was once a self-contained city. If the crowds are a little too big around there, you can explore Granada itself.

Cadiz

This city was founded over 3,000 years ago by the Phoenicians, and is often said to be the oldest city in Europe. You can check out the ancient amphitheatre, or explore the impressive artifacts in its archaeological museum.
