Explore Spain Beyond The Limits
You’ve starved yourself for 8 weeks of carbohydrates, arrive in Malaga Airport you jump on a minibus with all your mates and land in Puerto Banus where you spray champagne over each other, blow 300 euros a day, show off your silicon and take your kit off t any opportunity ...... sound familiar?
Well if you believe “Life On Marbs” thats all there is to a good party holiday in Spain.
Don’t get me wrong I love a good slurp, party, champagne spray and pool party but glammin’ up the Costa del Sols number one party hotspot i.e. Puerto Banus as whats portrayed on TV is as false as the botox and silicon of the featured woman in this program.
The producers dont seem to understand that Marbella is a huge province and Puerto Banus is a tiny port packed full of bars and restaurants situated on coast within the Malaga province. Ask any local there is a major difference
In the past 3 months I have played golf in Spain, practiced Spanish with locals, gone kite surfing in Tarifa, visited the lakes in El Chorro, gone to the Ferria in Malaga, dined in Orange Tree Square, drunk many 1 euro beers in Marbella, talked to interesting people in local parks, saw the barbary apes on the rock and much more. Trust me there’s more to life on Marbs than “Life On Marbs”
