Marbella is in Malaga, not between Malaga and Gibraltar

Absurd! (You've not been there, obviously.) Anyway, the quality of this page is otherwise poor, so someone can please re-write it!

The picture shown in this article is not Marbella, it is actually a photo to the entrance of the Royal Mirage Hotel in Dubai, UAE.


      • I have added information about the present history i hope you liked

The links were blatant advertising of one of the magazines in Marbella. I have added the two only portals in the net, marbella.com and marbella.es since they are official.

The website www.marbellainfo.com is one that has been set up by a group of tourists. It is designed to give the highest level of information to tourists wanting to visit marbella. It is not an advertsising magazine. It operates in a similar way to marbella.com. If you take a bit of time and look at the website the level of information on Marbellainfo.com is far superior, far more indepth and far more relevant to tourists that would be visiting the area. Rather than just list businesses it contains descriptions, photos, maps , rating and allows for customers to leave comments similar to tripadvisor.com system. I would hope that after reviewing the site you deep it a worthwhile addition to the external links section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.150.120.34 (talkcontribs)

You're right-- marbella.com doesn't belong here any more than www.marbellainfo.com: they're both commercial links. -- Mwanner | Talk 13:07, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Alfonso de Mora y Aragón is incorrect. It should be JAIME de Mora y Aragón. 217.125.83.49 10:29, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nightlife

Shouldn't there be anything on the nightlife in Marbella? Afterall it is a very popular destination for tourists looking for good clubs etc


[edit] Intro

I removed "upmarket" so it now reads simply "city". Was a pretty absurd thing to say, whether it's true or not it's totally subjective. Unusual Cheese 23:17, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Official !?

Please note marbella.com is NOT an official site of Marbella - the domain was bought many years ago and used by 'mcom Properties' a real estate company.

[edit] The flag

Marbella not have a flag, the blue and white flag was the vote in the government of Marbella, but was not approved Juan Gurro


[edit] Style

This article reads like one person's account of change if Marbella and their dis-like of it, words like us can't and shouldn't be use.ed 86.43.82.13 (talk) 12:27, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Answer: The article about the city of Marbella, it is almost perfect, with sufficient information to anyone reading, if you think that words are not being properly used, please make a change.User:Louis Du Pasquier —Preceding comment was added at 23:55, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Reply: The version you introduced is problematic. It reads like a travelogue and personal essay about the city and not as a encyclopedia article. Furthermore, the material was copied from another website. (See this. Regards, Whpq (talk) 02:58, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
