Marbella...in the rain

On Monday afternoon we went into Marbella to see the Casco Antiguo, aka old quarter. Starting the wet journey out of the parking garage:




















Just south of the Casco is a fabulous little park, and a paseo Dali where loads of his sculptures make their way down to the sea.









































Here's an adorable little park bench in the rain--





















--and one of the lush, tropical corridors.





















Entering the Casco Antinguo...




















One of the narrow white streets so common in the coastal and hillside towns.




















A handsome little square...





















The old church (with, it must be admitted, some seriously creepy mannequins in the chapel installations).






















Chris and Sawyer frolicking in the square in front of the church.




















Some vestiges of the old fort still surround the city.











































Looking down on the Plaza de las Naranjas




















Sawyer checks out the goods in a local boutique.
