Marbella-Marina Robertson - Jet Set Life

Rob: Okay, so let’s talk about the weather a little bit. When I was there, I was there for about
three weeks and there was no humidity. It was just perfect. I mean, I was there in July, for
almost the whole month of July and it was blue sky, no clouds, 70 degrees Farenheit and it was
just perfect. Is that generally what your summers are like or was that unusual?
Marina: Normally Marbella has got an amazing climate and the season of Marbella is often
referred to as California of Europe. It’s very, very pleasant and that’s why a lot of Saudi Royals
come here during summer. The climate remains mostly the same throughout the year and used
to be until the last two years I’d say. It’s sunny for more than 320 days a year. And the average
annual temperature would be 66 Farenheit. I did the conversion (laughs). And the summer
temperature where everybody else is would rise above 110 Farenheit inland. In Marbella Coast
you wouldn’t go more than 86.
Rob: And what about the humidity?
Marina: Very low.
Rob: Very, very low. Okay that was my experience too.
Marina: It’s not zero because I used to live in countries where there is zero humidity. It takes
time to get used to it but it’s really low so it’s very pleasant.
Rob: So it’s very similar to California so there’s an advantage. A lot of people here in America
would love to move to California because it’s called “California dreaming” for a reason. It’s
sunny and 70 and perfect but in Europe you have an opportunity to have that same kind of
climate with Marbella but that’s not typical of the rest of Spain, right? That’s just a micro
climate.
