The Mediterranean Climate – why is it so healthy?
Marbella is a health place to live. Sometimes we really don’t notice but there are a lot of elderly people from European countries who arrive in Marbella with a walking stick and now don’t use it. How can this be?
The warmth of the all year round sunshine in Marbella is one of the most healing and healthy attributes to living in Southern Spain. People with skin ailments can swim in the healing ocean most of the year, not only that in Málaga city there are Roman indoor baths. During the summer months, just a short drive to Sabanillas there is an outdoor sulphur spa and paddling stream that was built by the Romans. The ocean air is perfect for asthma suffers and the pollution free living in Marbella is just what the doctor ordered.
There are 3248 hours of sunshine along the Costa del Sol coastline, so for those suffering with osteoporosis, joint paint and arthritis there just isn’t anywhere healthier than Marbella to live all year round.
The social services and culture centre offers many courses from September – June. Exercise classes, Zumba and Sevillana Dancing. There are also other courses like painting, glass crafting, photography, computer skills and much more. Many activities are outdoors, so the mild winters are perfect for learning new skills and practising new activities.

Investing in Real Estate in Marbella
People from all over the world own property in Marbella. They not only make it their home but some use it as their winter retreat until they retire.
With more and more visitors deciding to move to Spain, it is a very practical idea to purchase a property for investment purposes, many people purchase with a mortgage and rent out the property with a local agent. The rent in turn, covers the mortgage and yearly costs. Potential buyers often rent a house or apartment whilst they are having a house built, renovation work done or while they get to know the area before purchasing.
Why Marbella?
One of the many reasons people chose to buy in and around Marbella is because of its accessibility. There are buses and coaches along the coast and great roads for travelling from one town to the other. Gibraltar is close by and so is Malaga for airports and train services.
There are all the amenities for permanent residence, family holidays, golf holidays, sporting holidays and weekend breaks.
