Marbella-Marina Robertson - Jet Set Life

Marina: Obviously it’s Puerto Banus with all the brands and I actually went down trying to
count them, just for you, I must have counted about 40. I got to 40 and I got fed up and I just
walked away (laughs).
Rob: Thank you! Okay, that’s enough, forty is enough.
Marina: Then there’s the Cañada shop which is a bit more down to earth, it’s called the Cañada
Shopping Centre and again it’s something similar to what you will get in the States so it’s
nothing exciting but I’d say if you want to see something more local, down to earth, you
definitely have to go to this local outdoor markets. That is something probably much more
unique than any of these regular street shops you’d find. They’re moving around the coast and I
believe Marbella is on Monday so you find handmade jewelry, you’ll find clay pots and some
clothing and it’s all Spanish, it’s all typically Spanish made, made here and sold here and it’s an
absolute bargain for the tourists because it cost peanuts out there compared to what you find
in the shops, even if you try to buy some souvenirs while you’re here. Please, by no means go to
any of the shops because the price margin will be very high, it will be about 200% more
expensive than what you will find in this open market.
Rob: Now let’s talk about things to do because I know we’ve got the standard beach, sunshine,
golf, those sort of things but are there anything really unique that you would say really, really
must do?
Marina: There are so many things…okay, I’ll just go through it then you decide which one is
unique, which one is special. You can watch La Liga football, you can go quad biking, you can go
paintballing, go carting, play pigeon shooting, paddle tennis, golf courses, sphereing…you got
this thing, this sphereing ball that rolls down the hill and you feel like you’re inside a washing
machine, that’s an absolute madness, never done that (laughs).
Rob: I have no idea what you’re talking about.
