A cooler-months classic: park behind the beach near Marbella's marina around 10am and set off along the promenade towards Puerto Banús. After 30–40 minutes (depending on how often you stop) you arrive at Cappuccino Grand Café for brunch with a little glamour and great chill-out music — maybe a fruit smoothie on the side. Then wander back towards the marina and, if the sun's out, finish with a lunchtime drink on one of the marina bar terraces.
Drive to Marbella and park on the streets behind the beach near the marina — aim for around 10am.
Walk the promenade towards Puerto Banús — sea on your left, mansions on your right.

Simon's tip
On a sunny winter day it can hit 22°C — take sunglasses, not a coat. Street parking behind the beach fills up from late morning, so 10am is the sweet spot.
