Marbella is considered one of the safest cities in Spain - it has a record low crime rate. Many people attribute this success to the personality of the odious mayor of Marbella, Jesus Gil - he became famous for simply evicting all unreliable citizens outside the city! Such radicalism has been repeatedly condemned, but the fact remains that today in Marbella there are practically no pickpockets even in tourist areas and you can safely walk around the city at night.
In order that your vacation was not marred by minor troubles, we advise you to remember that in Marbella there are severe fines for smoking in unauthorized places, so pay attention to where the locals smoke.
