An evening in Marbella old town.
A visit to Marbella wouldn’t quite be complete without exploring the magic of the old town, locally known as the Casco Antiguo ─ the historic area is renowned renowned as the most charismatic place in Marbella. This old quarter is a special place at any time of day, but in the evening it becomes particularly enchanting. As the sun sets, the winding cobbled streets are softly illuminated by small lantern style lights that light the way from the boutique stores and white washed townhouses to the restaurants and bars that reside in the area. As well as providing a captivating experience full of culture, history and tradition, the old town has become known for its gastronomic offering; here you can find everything from traditional tapas and fresh sea food to authentic international menus. Located in the centre of the Casco Antiguo, Orange Square is a particular favourite of those who are looking to dine in a vibrant hub with a scenic backdrop. Here the beautiful orange trees that surround the square are decorated with fairy lights that sparkle like diamonds in the evenings ─ creating the perfect setting for a romantic date night or tranquil dinner with friends. Particular favourites include Restaurante Mena, which overlooks the square, and Ciaboga, located at its edge. Situated just around the corner is The Orange Tree Restaurant, which has long been a favourite with both locals and tourists due to its warm welcome and broad international offering. A little further around the corner, situated on one of the scenic narrow streets, you will find Casa Tua, a small and intimate restaurant where you can sample authentic Italian cuisine with a unique twist as you soak up the atmosphere and watch the world go by. Another area of choice within the old town is Calle Tetuán, an atmospheric street that has become a gastronomic hub in it’s own right. This area is home to some of the most stylish restaurants in the area, such as Il Tartufo with it’s signature Italian delights, Buenos Aires steak house, which offers some of the finest cuts of Argentinean meat in Marbella, and Momo Marbella, a romantic restaurant featuring supreme international cuisine and creative cocktails to die for.
