Right in the middle of the golden mile you will find three supermarkets within 100 metres of each other - Lidl, Super Sol, and El Corte Ingles. This makes it really convenient when shopping as if you don't get what you want in one place then you will surely find it in one of the others.
I was staying in the Gand Hotel Guadalpin Marbella Spa, and all three supermarkets were within 5 mins walk from my hotel. I tried all three.
My favourite by far is El Coret Ingles for style, quality, layout, and variety. It's in the basement of a stunning building that also houses two floors of exquisite furnishings.
Try their fresh fish, cold meats, pates (includiing an excellent range of own-brand products), whole cured jamon, and a wide selection of alcohol. The displays alone will have you salivating.
They open until 9.15pm each night.

You know how we women are with our hairdressers? Indeed I'm sure men are quite the same. A good hairdresser is hard to find, and a great hairdresser is a prize to be coveted.
We needed to be coiffed to perfection for a wedding we were attending in Marbella and so we took a chance to using Blue 01 Studio, the hairdressers salon attached to our Hotel, the Guadalpin Marbella Spa.
It was easy to get an appointment and, although or very attractive male coiffeur had little or no English, sign language got us by and I must admit to being totally thrilled with the outcome.
What to pay: The prices were most reasonable, too. I paid just €61 for a colour, wash and blow dry.

Having young nieces and nephews that you're very close to always means a big struggle on holiday to bring home the perfect present.
Marbella Old Town provides the perfect solution in that it boasts what appears to be a street full of toy shops.
Apart altogether from the treasures inside, the whole appearance is that of a fairyland with great big bunches of balloons festooned together and boungainvillea in fuschia, pink and purple draping the buildings above.
What to buy: In one of the shops I found wonderful soft toys made locally in Spain. There were little mice and rabbits in ballet costume. Perfect for my four year old niece.

You can't leave Marbella without doing some shopping!
My favourite items that I never come home without are the " jamon pata negra " ( cured spanish ham from black pig )and spanish red wine ( I specially love the "Sangre de Toro").
You can buy these at a local supermarket, there are several thoughout Marbella or at the El Corte Ingles, a well known shopping center close to Puerto Banus.
Here you can also find all kind of things, from clothes, designer brands, furniture, crafts.

The Old Town of Marbella is a treasure-trove of WONDERFUL SHOPS like Ceramica San Nicolas and Artesania Espanola offering beautiful hand-crafted ceramics. La Paz offering a variety of religious articles.. Unique to Marbella is the Proud Scout which carries a fantastic selection of American Indian Crafts with genuine turquoise silver jewellery. Other shops and boutiques offer souvenirs, jewellery, clothing & accessories, shoes, sporting goods, etc. Kat and I had a great time exploring all the little narrow streets and alleyways where little boutiques were tucked away.

The main avenue in Marbella (the ancient road) go across all the city and it has diferents names. It's called Ramón y Cajal where it pass next to the old town. The next name, in the way to Puerto Banús, is Ricardo Soriano. It's the business area and there are lots of clothes shops in this area, mainly for women.
La principal avenida de Marbella (la antigua carretera) atraviesa toda la ciudad y tiene diferentes nombres. Se llama Ramón y Cajal cuando pasa junto al casco antiguo.

It's the biggest commercial area in town with a wide variety of national and international firms of fashion, shoes, home equipment and books. For example FNAC, Leroy Merlín, Alcampo (Auchan), Zara, Mango... are placed here. In addition there are some restaurans (but they're not the best), cinemas and bowling.

If you're serching for big shops, restaurants and entertaiment in Puerto Banus, that's your place. I usually come here even from Estepona, because it's very near. There are lots of shops, there is free wi-fi and there are a wide variety of cinemas screens. There is an enterteiment centre with bowling too.
