Everything you need to know about Marbella
Marbella pairs a jasmine-scented Andalusian old town with the glossy marina life of Puerto Banús, all strung along the sunny Costa del Sol beneath the Sierra Blanca mountains. The whitewashed Casco Antiguo circles Plaza de los Naranjos, while the beachfront Golden Mile links the town to Banús, and the seafront Paseo Marítimo runs for kilometres past chiringuito beach bars. With more than 300 days of sun a year, long lunches and easy day trips to Ronda and Málaga, it's one of southern Spain's most relaxed short breaks — fly into Málaga (AGP), less than an hour away.

Essential info for Canadian travellers
Passport: A valid Canadian passport is all you need to enter Spain; it should be valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen area.
Visa & ETIAS: No visa is required for stays up to 90 days. The EU's ETIAS travel authorization is being introduced — confirm whether it applies before you travel.
Travel insurance: Provincial health plans do not cover care in Spain. Comprehensive travel medical insurance is strongly recommended.
Power & plugs: Spain uses 230V/50Hz with Type C and F plugs — pack a plug adapter for your Canadian devices and a converter for anything not dual-voltage.
Time zone: Marbella runs on Central European Time (CET), six hours ahead of Toronto. Andalusians eat late — dinner rarely starts before 9pm.

Marbella travel FAQ
Everything Canadian travellers ask before booking
Do Canadians need a visa for Spain?
No. Canadians can visit Spain and the Schengen area visa-free for up to 90 days. The EU's ETIAS travel authorization is being introduced, so check whether it applies before you fly.
How do I get to Marbella from Canada?
Fly into Málaga–Costa del Sol Airport (AGP), the gateway to Marbella. Air Transat offers seasonal direct flights from Toronto (about 8h 20m), and Air Canada and Iberia fly year-round with one stop. Marbella is roughly a 40-minute drive or shuttle from the airport.
When is the best time to visit Marbella?
Late spring (April–June) and early autumn (September–October) offer warm, sunny weather with softer crowds and a swimmable sea. Summer is hot and lively; winters are mild, quiet and great for golf.
Is Marbella easy to get around?
The Old Town and seafront promenade are compact and walkable. There's no metro, but local buses, taxis and the Avanza coach network connect the centre with Puerto Banús, San Pedro and the airport; renting a car helps for day trips.
What currency is used and are cards accepted?
Spain uses the euro (EUR). Cards and contactless payments are accepted almost everywhere; carry a little cash for beach bars, markets and small tapas spots.
What language is spoken in Marbella?
Spanish (Castilian) is the official language, spoken with an Andalusian accent. English is very widely understood in hotels, restaurants and along the coast.
Which area should I stay in?
The Casco Antiguo (Old Town) is central and atmospheric for first-timers; the Golden Mile puts you on the beach between town and the marina; Puerto Banús is best for nightlife and shopping; Nueva Andalucía offers better value and golf.
Can I book day trips through ShopTravel?
Yes. You can add excursions like Ronda, Málaga city and Gibraltar to your trip at checkout or arrange them with your hotel concierge on arrival.
