Travel for Pennies

Southern Spain is really a feast for the senses.  A place where many cultures come together, with a long and fascinating history of human adventures, it is at times surreal and can cause one to enter into a pleasant daydream.  Marbella is one of the most splendid cities here, in the heart of Aldalusia, and its beaches, golf courses, and discos help attract curious travelers to the sumptuous luxury hotels.  Marbella has a splendid array of hotels that offer an unusually perfect sense of rejuvenation.  Our hotels are selected to appeal to the discerning visitors, offering a spectacular blend of old world charm and new world conveniences.

After a gorgeous night in our magnificently decorated rooms, and a delicious meal prepared by our world-class chefs, you’ll be ready to see the city in style.  There are many excellent attractions here that will appeal to guests of all ages, with a lively beach culture as well as a lively creative culture.  At times, these might even overlap, and that’s the moment when life becomes like art.  There is a very refined taste here when it comes to film especially, reflecting the Spanish love for art that is innovative and also reflects the best of the classical tradition.  One place where this is aptly demonstrated is at the Marbella International Film Festival.

This is a fantastic way to get to know the tastes of the town, as it reflects a cosmopolitan sensibility.  The films are from all over the world, Japan, Israel, the U.K., and Spain to name just a few.  The Marbella International Film Festival is extremely artist-centered, focusing on independent work that shows quality and vision by upcoming artists.  There are categories for feature-length, short films, documentaries, and animation.  Refreshingly, a concerted effort is made to introduce artists to other industry professionals, and to give them methods for making the daunting task of a career in art more financially viable.  It’s a festival with lofty goals and an excellent track record, and is a certain way to connect locally and globally in Marbella.
