When you take a long hard look at Marbella, and its elite inhabitants, it’s hard to imagine that in the nineteenth century Marbella was one of the areas where Spain’s mining industry was most highly developed. The blast furnaces that were used to smelt the iron that was extracted from mines in the Sierra Blanca have been replaced with designer fashion houses and stretch limousines. In a little more than a century Marbella has gone from being a reference for world industry, to a palm lined paradise for the rich and famous.
Now the second largest city in the province of Málaga, this huge conglomeration was home in the early days to the first few settlers in the Palaeolithic Era.
