I for one can't stand Marbella. Why oh why would anyone want to go on holiday with a bunch of British ex-pats. Spain attracts the very worst of the British and Marbella is no exception.
I think middle class Spanish people are beautiful and elegant and live in a wonderful country but this is difficult to find around the coasts. I always stay in a Parador well away from an ex-pat community and drink vast quantities of the local wine before donning a Burberry cap
Marbella has always attracted a weird bunch and lacks any of the finesse of the south of France. I have always been a sucker for Monaco but accept that even that has changed recently. It the new money...
