What to do in Marbella when it rains
The weather needn't spoil Marbella. Its galleries, museums and indoor markets are at their best on a grey day, with cafés on every corner.
Museums
Spend a few hours in the city's museums — many are free, and a rainy day is the perfect excuse to take your time.
Art galleries
Duck into the art galleries; they're quiet, warm and rarely busier than on a wet day.
