The jetsetter paradise of Marbella in Andalusia is in the Costa del Sol region of southern Spain. It is one of Europe's best known resorts for the rich and famous to "see and be seen." This sunny city can be enjoyed by the more budget-conscious as well. The Rock of Gibraltar is a beautiful outcrop close to the Spanish Costa del Sol. For more than two centuries it has been a possession of the United Kingdom and is home to the famous Gibraltar apes.
