Address: Av. del Mar, 29602 Marbella, Málaga, Spain
Avenida del Mar is Marbella’s open-air gallery, stretching between the historic Paseo de La Alameda and the Mediterranean. Once part of the city’s grand 18th-century parkland, it was where the local elite paraded horse-drawn carriages during festivals—think vintage Marbella glamour with a splash of social flexing.
Today, it’s a breezy, marble-lined promenade where Salvador Dalí’s surreal bronze sculptures line your path to the sea. These ten originals—dreamlike, dramatic, and totally photo-worthy—give the space an unexpected artistic edge. Whether you’re walking through with kids, on a date, or just chasing the light for your next reel, it hits the mark.
Redesigned in the 1990s after the construction of an underground car park, Avenida del Mar kept its historic elegance but added a modern flow. It’s central, stylish, and easy to pair with a visit to the Old Town or the beach. Art, sea air, and just enough people-watching—what else do you need?
