Half a century ago, the economy in Marbella was mainly based on agriculture and livestock, as well as on wine making In this half a century, Marbella's source of income has radically changed. Tourism and its implications, namely hotels, summer houses, pubs, cafes, restaurant and shops, are now the local’s main concerns and domains of activity.
Marbella has gradually expanded over time. It has improved its infrastructure, new cultural centres and sport facilities were built and the park and avenues were embellished as much as possible. The golf courses were developed in special, as there are many golf passionate tourists and the forms of relief from this resort are more than encouraging.
Some of the last places where you can look for an authentic feeling is the Old Town of Marbella. That is where constructions from the 15th century can still be admired. The Orange Square is a central meeting place and a facilitated location. Around the square, the adjacent shops open their doors every day to welcome their visitors. They sell clothes, souvenirs, decorations and different types of food. The merchants try to attract the attention of the tourists staying in villas in Marbella by all means, and to fulfil their needs and desires. Their way of approach is not strictly related to their turnover. Their behaviour is typically Spanish.
