Marbella is both tabula rasa and palimpsest. It can be anything to anyone. You can meet a rock star in the morning and a member of european royalty in the afternoon. There can’t be many places where two such unique personalities might intersect. To paraphrase churchill, it is a kaleidoscope, wrapped in a mosaic, inside a melting pot. The result of successive waves of visitors who have left their marks over the years, marbella is a social archaeological site where generations have lived lives of sun-gilded leisure. Today the popular image of marbella may be of a sort of european miami, but one need only scratch this glitzy surface to be taken back to the time when marbella was a simpler place.With a personal narrative text by historian and journalist nicholas foulkes, a longtime marbella visitor, this colorful volume illustrates varied aspects of this picturesque port, from the mountains to the beaches, from the delightful old town to the glamorous nightlife.
