Marbella Set for a Great 2018

At the international tourism fair it was predicted that Andalucia are expecting 30 million tourists in 2018.  Marbella alone sees an increase in tourists every year and this year will be prepared for more tourists.  With new road works planned for the A7 including access roads to help with traffic.  New hotels including Nobu Hotel due to open in the Golden Mile in March.  There are plans for lifesaving rings on 3 beaches - venus, cabopino and san pedro should anyone get into difficulty.  There will be a new ferry line to Santander Spain direct from Cork Ireland with Brittany Ferries, the first direct ferry from Ireland to Spain.  It will run twice a week and it will take 26 hours.  There is still talks of a rail line between Malaga and Marbella so there are plenty of improvements being made this year which will help cope with the influx of tourists.

Lets hope for some great weather as last year was Spain's hottest ever year in terms of average temperature so make sure you bring your sunscreen.  Also while most of Spain had bad snow in January, Marbella was still enjoying sunshine and people still sat on the beach.  Hard to imagine if you drove 1 hour away you may end up in snow or rain.

So what are you waiting for, get your swimsuit packed, wave bye bye to the rain and get to Marbella.  Don´t forget if you fall in love with Marbella on your next trip, we can always find you a dream home.

Marbella January 2018.
