Why go
This route suits visitors who want more than a quick look at Marbella's old town. The municipal market gives the walk a local starting point, while Plaza de los Naranjos and the Church of the Incarnation show how the historic streets gather around civic and religious landmarks. The Engraving Museum is an optional indoor pause for people who want more time with art. Continue toward Avenida del Mar for sculpture in an open setting and a natural end to the walk. The stops are close enough to take at an easy pace, with time to linger in the square.
