Even if dancing the night away in one of Marbella’s famous nightclubs is your ideal workout, the city is great for outdoor exercise. There tends to be fog over the city in the morning, which burns off in the late morning, so my favorite thing to do was go for a run along the boardwalk overlooking the beach and Mediterranean Sea. The path goes for miles and is full of runners and bikers in the morning until the restaurants open and tourists arrive for their “full English breakfast” (TIP: Don’t order that, or go places with photos on the menu… so unauthentic!).
I’m a big fan of using the natural environment in my workouts including stairs, ramps, and benches, and you will find all of that along the boardwalk. Additionally, the city of Marbella has installed exercise machines for a full-body circuit along the boardwalk that you can do for free. When I passed by, I saw a mix of people seriously using the equipment and kids playing on the bright-colored apparatuses.
TIP: There are gyms you can go to for a drop-in if your hotel doesn’t have a fitness center, but they are very expensive at around 20+ Euros per day.
TIP: There are plenty of places to rent a bike to explore the city while burning breakfast calories, my favorite type of tour!
