In Marbella, cultural events are taking place all year round in the towns selection of cinemas, theatres, museums and art galleries.

It is often thought that Marbella is only a town of beaches, restaurants, hotels and nightclubs. While in many respects that's true, there is certainly a lot more to Marbella, with its large cultural offer.

There are private museums and theatres to visit, always offering new shows and performances. And if you're a film buff, Marbella offers large cinema complexes so you'll never miss any movie premiere, as well as more exclusive and intimate cineams where you can see films d'essai, such as the Cine Club Buñuel.

Ralli Museum (Museo Ralli) offers works by artists like Chagall and Dali as well as contemporary Latin American artists, while the Bonsai Museum is perfect for enjoying a peaceful afternoon wandering through small works of natural art. The Spanish Contemporary Engraving Museum (Museo del Grabado Español) is perhaps the best known of Marbella, and his visit is one of the things to do during your vacation.

Teatro Ciudad de Marbella always has spectacular shows on offer, but if you like experiments and new trends, try the Black Box Theatre. This theatre hosts many performing arts courses.

In the Palace of Congresses and Conferences Marbella (Palacio de Ferias y Congresos de Marbella) there are always new events and festivals that attract both tourists and locals.

And there are monuments to see and visit too, such as "The Lollipop" of Marbella or the 'Casa del Corregidor' in the historic centre of the town.

A holiday in Marbella can be much more than sun, sea and sand. Culture and entertainment are part of daily life in Marbella any time of year.
