If you're booking hotel accommodation in Marbella and the sun has decided to hide behind a cloud, you might be wondering what you can do if it's too overcast for the beach. The Spanish costas - and particularly the Costa del Sol - are famous for their fantastic stretches of sand and warm, sunny weather. But like anywhere else, there are bound to be a few days when the sun doesn't shine. If you find this to be the case during your break never fear - Marbella boasts a range of attractions to keep you busy. Firstly you'll need to settle into some suitable accommodation. If you're looking for somewhere central that allows you to reach the Old Town, shops and promenade in just a few minutes then the Princesa Playa hotel is ideal. The accommodation is comfortable and you might struggle to tear yourself away from the games room and bar on grey days. However, one of the hotel's useful features is bicycle hire - perfect for getting around the town and back quickly if a downpour starts. Pull on your hat or hood and make your way to the city boardwalk for some great views. You might like to visit the cafes and restaurants that line the promenade here and look out at the wonderful coastal vistas. Next, head to the Jose Banus Port - a popular marina in Marbella whether you enjoy a spot of fishing or would rather take a pleasure boat ride out to sea. Admire the colourful vessels moored up here and perhaps plan to return in the evenings, when the area comes alive with revellers in the party mood. A cultural attraction you may decide to visit is the Marbella Bullring, which holds fights most weekends. However, the impressive structure is worth a visit for its architectural value alone and also hosts many of the area's concerts and festivals. Another popular spot is the main square - Plaza de Los Naranjos. The open space is surrounded by old and important buildings, such as the chapel, which dates back to the 1400s, and the town hall. Wander down the narrow streets here and you'll find plenty of little shops to keep you busy until the sun comes out. These are just a few of Marbella's attractions - why not pay a visit and discover the remainder for yourself? Why not take advantage of some of the hotel accommodation available for breaks in Marbella this year? There is all kinds on offer, whether you plan to stay at trendy boutiques, cosy B&Bs or luxury hotels like the Princesa Playa.
