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.
Marina: Only specific area of Marbella is surrounded by hills and it’s right on the sea and there were some researches done by institutions where they’re looking for an appropriate piece of land to build their laboratory to. I can’t remember exactly the details but they identified only two places and one was California and another one was Marbella. Rob: I’ll tell you something interesting for me. It was fascinating just jumping in the car and before I knew it I was very close to the boarder of the Arab countries there in Africa. How long does it take to get to…I guess Tangier is probably the closest spot to you in Africa. How long does it take to get to Africa from Marbella? Marina: Well, if there is no wait from Marbella you’ll probably have to drive for about 20 to 30 minutes to get to the point where you can take a boat and it’ll take you about 40 minutes. Rob: Okay so in roughly an hour to an hour and a half, somewhere in there? Marina: No, less than that. Rob: So let’s say an hour. Marina: Yes. Rob: so in about an hour you’re in Africa. Marina: Absolutely, unless you hit a traffic jam. Rob: (laughs) Unless you hit a traffic jam. I took that drive and I noticed all the windmills on top of all the mountains there.
