In Marbella, you can meet a rock star in the morning and European royalty in the afternoon. There can't be many places where two such unique personalities could cross paths. To paraphrase Churchill, it's a kaleidoscope wrapped in a mosaic, inside a crucible. The fruit of successive waves of visitors who have left their mark over the years, Marbella is a social archeological site where generations have lived a life of leisure gilded by the Sun. Today, the popular image of Marbella may be that of a kind of European Miami, but one only has to scratch that lavish surface to return to the days when Marbella was a simpler place.
In the 1950s, it was a traditional village, quiet and dusty, and today the old town is still a charming maze of streets, some so narrow you can touch the rough white walls on either side. At Easter, solemn and dramatic religious processions wind through this maze of alleys and squares, as they have for generations. But what's really striking about Marbella is how unchanged it has remained. Historical figures long linked to the coast, including of course Prince Alfonso von Hohenlohe, may have passed into history, but their presence endures in those who follow them.
With a personal narrative text by historian and journalist Nicholas Foulkes, a long-time visitor to Marbella, this colorful volume illustrates various aspects of this picturesque port, from mountains to beaches, from charming old town to glamorous nightlife.
