About Marbella
Marbella combines 27 km of Mediterranean coastline with the Sierra Blanca massif, which rises to 1,270 m just a few kilometres from the sea. This proximity between mountain and coast makes it possible to go rock climbing on Sierra Blanca's walls and paddle surfing or kayaking in the eastern coves all in the same day. The GR-249, the Gran Senda de Málaga, crosses the municipality with hiking stages through pine forests, farmsteads and views down to the sea.

The GR-249, the Gran Senda de Málaga, crosses the municipality with hiking stages through pine forests, farmsteads and views down to the sea.
MTB riders find technical routes with substantial elevation on the forest tracks of La Concha and Sierra Blanca. Horse riding through the sierra and the inland countryside has a well-established network of operators, while along the coast, diving and snorkelling are popular thanks to the clear waters of the western Mediterranean. Marbella has a strong network of specialist operators making all these activities easy to access, whether for a short visit or an extended stay.
Highlights
- • Rock climbing on Sierra Blanca's walls at 1,270 m above the Mediterranean
- • Hiking the GR-249 through pine forests with coastal views across Málaga
- • Kayaking and paddle surfing in the coves along Marbella's eastern coast
- • Technical MTB on forest tracks of La Concha and Sierra Blanca
Best time to visit
Spring and autumn are ideal for hiking and MTB in the sierra, while summer is peak season for water activities along the coast.
Practical tips
To combine sierra and sea in a single day, head to the mountains early in the morning and save water activities for the afternoon when conditions on the sea are typically calmer.
