Hike up to la concha mountain
There are many mountain trails around Marbella. But the most spectacular and for free is the hike up la concha. Take the car to el Refugio de juanar and park your car. Hiking signs is there to guide you. But in the summer it gets hot. So start early before sunrise. Take about 2-3 hours up depending on your physical condition. In the winter. Be ware of that the weather can change rapidly to rain and clouds. Use a guide is also a best option. People have gotten lost up there.
