Enjoy Shopping in Marbella
Marbella is one of Spain’s undoubted holiday hotspots. Situated on Spain’s Costa del Sol in southern Andalucia, Marbella is a magnet for wealth and high living, attracting a stalwart contingent of visitors and tourists every year to soak up its inimitable brand of sun, sea and lifestyle.
Shopping in Marbella effortlessly cater for a high calibre of residents and tourists, offering up a number of luxury shopping destinations as well as family friendly malls, which include in-built multiplex cinemas, numerous restaurants and fashion retail outlets.
Marbella’s elite undoubtedly shop at the luxury Laguna Village shopping retreat, situated in Marbella’s Estepona region. Here, you can experience shopping in a stylish setting, complimented by an indulgent health spa, which skims Marbella’s Mediterranean coast. Laguna Village offers visitors 28 exclusive shops, which include boutique and designer outlets from famed Spanish and international designer brands.
Here, you can energise perusing fashions from Elle Morgan, Just Cavalli, Escada and Egoiste pour Homme or home furnishings from Flamant Home Interiors and Bang and Olufsen. After shopping to your heart’s content you can relax in one of four restaurants or poolside by Laguna’s infinity swimming pool, surrounded by sun beds and private tents. Laguna also boasts a spa, gymnasium and yoga centre that’s ideal for pampering Marbella’s most discerning visitors.
If, however, you’re looking to spend in shopper’s paradise, but not necessarily within its budget, you might prefer the more family-friendly option of Marbella’s two impressive shopping malls. El Corte Ingles, situated in the Puerto Banus marina and La Canada Shopping Centre in Marbella’s centre are ideal options if your shopping tastes are eclectic. These two huge shopping centres also offer a number of options for entertaining kids and adults alike, as well as restaurants that cater to all palates so they can make for a great day out for all the family.
El Corte Ingles is Spain’s largest department store and boasts hundreds of shops over six floors, gaining it a reputation as Spain’s answer to Britain’s high end Selfridges store. Parking is cheap and plentiful at 1.50€ per hour and buses and taxis pick up and drop off direct in the heart of the shopping centre, making it convenient to reach by public transport.
Over the six busy floors you’ll find stores and boutiques catering to haberdashery, flowers, fashion, sports equipment, toys, music, perfume, footwear and more. El Corte Ingles is also open twelve hours a day, from 10am until 10pm from Monday to Saturday so you’ve plenty opportunity to shop at a time suitable to you.
La Canada Shopping Centre is another first for Marbella – the largest shopping centre in the Costa del Sol. It’s situated on Marbella’s bypass so is easy to find and private parking is plentiful and free, although buses and taxis regularly connect with La Canada too.
Once you’ve made your way to La Canada, you’ll find everything you could want in a shopping centre in over 150 shops. You can browse European and international fashions, from Mango, Topshop and H&M to Tommy Hilfiger and renowned Spanish designers. Children’s clothing, jewellery and golf shops are also all under one roof. Here too, you’ll discover hairdressers, ten pin bowling, a multiplex cinema, restaurants, supermarket and a state of the art gym.
La Canada is also open from 10am until 10pm from Monday to Saturday, so when you stay in a Marbella Hotel you’ll find it easy to shop until you drop at any one of the city’s top three shopping destinations.

Sunglasses are "hot!"
When it comes to fashion, sunglasses are "hot!" What can be hotter than George Clooney as Danny Ocean wearing designer sunglasses in the Oceans movies? Paris Hilton or the Olsen twins can be seen, just about anywhere in Hollywood, day or night, wearing the latest in designer sunglasses. When they walk the red carpet and they are asked, "What are you wearing?" they might lower their sunglasses down on their noses and peer over the rims and drop designer names like Vera Wang, Dior, Valentino, Gucci and Armani.
As an attention-getting accessory or fashion statement, designer or custom sunglasses are nothing new. Trendsetters like Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, and Elton John sported designer and custom sunglasses as part of their "look" or star status. Some have worn sunglasses to hide behind, cover their drug-affected eyes, or make a statement. Pictures of Elvis Presley reveal that he had sunglasses custom-made for him with his initials or the letters TCB (Taking Care of Business) built right into the nose bridge.
Stars like Sophia Loren, Donald Trump, and Britney Spears have their own name brand sunglasses on the market while others may be wearing Marc Jacobs or Armani sunglasses for a classy look or Baby Phat for punk style. The mood for the day might be for the blast-to-the-past 1950's look of Fossil sunglasses.
The same clothing designer may also be the designer of the sunglasses that you choose to accessorize your brand-name clothing. For instance, the smart Tommy dresser can add to the look of a Tommy Hilfiger clothing ensemble with Tommy Hilfiger sunglasses. For casual wear, Kate Spade sunglasses might do nicely. Carrera is known for a sporty look. For a sensual mood, Valentino frames that have smooth round edges and Swarovsky crystals might just put you (or whoever is looking at you) in the mood.
Designer sunglasses, if you can afford them, are a status symbol showing everyone that you have the cash (or credit card) to buy them. However, in order to be fashionable in sunglasses, you do not have to give up quality. Sunglasses, not being just fashionable accessories, are used to protect your eyes from damage caused by the sun's UV (ultra-violet) rays. Designer prescription sunglasses can improve vision, and reduce eyestrain, just like ordinary glasses.
Name-brand and designer sunglasses can be polarized to reduce the glare of the sunlight reflecting off surfaces like the highway, cars, water or snow. Polarized sunglasses work by blocking off the horizontal light reflections and only let in vertical light reflections. The polarization of designer sunglasses makes them fashionable in other areas of lifestyle like golfing, boating, biking, swimming, fishing and aircraft flying.
Marketers of designer sunglasses aim toward children who enjoy the same hot styles and brand-names as their parents and their idols. Children's designer sunglasses can also be polarized. Sunglasses should be part of children's daily wear as they play outside and engage in outdoor sports and activities. Sunglasses can prevent them from the long-term affects of sun damage to their eyes.
Sunglasses in any shade, shape or size, by any name may be a "hot" fashion item for trend-setting stars, men, women and children, but the importance of protecting the eyes from damage far outweighs the importance of looking cool.
