When to go to Marbella?
Marbella runs at two speeds: the yachts and glass-fronted shops of Puerto Banús at one end, the flowered lanes and whitewashed houses of the old town at the other. Between them stretches a seafront promenade with tapas terraces in the shade. Behind the coast, the golf valley rolls out one clipped green after another.
