Nestled along the sun-drenched shores of southern Spain, both Marbella and Tenerife offer an enchanting blend of stunning landscapes, rich history, and authentic culture. Picture this: you’re strolling through the charming streets of Marbella’s old town, where whitewashed buildings are adorned with bougainvillea. The air is filled with the mouthwatering aroma of espetos from nearby chiringuitos (beachside bars), inviting you to take a moment and soak in the stunning Mediterranean views.
Then there’s Tenerife, the largest of Spain’s Canary Islands, located off the coast of West Africa, where nature takes center stage. From the breathtaking landscapes of Teide National Park, home to the dormant volcano that is Spain's tallest peak, to its numerous black sand beaches, every inch of this island is bursting with beauty and adventure. Whether you’re up for a thrilling hike, a gorgeous sunset, or diving into delicious Spanish cuisine, both Marbella and Tenerife have it all.
I had the pleasure of staying at the Hard Rock Hotel in both regions, and let me tell you, it’s the ideal accommodation for each place.In Marbella, the hotel’s boutique atmosphere and excellent dining options provided the perfect retreat after a day of exploration. Meanwhile, in Tenerife, the vibrant, music-infused environment combined with luxurious amenities added an extra layer of excitement to my stay.
After a smooth flight into Málaga, I was whisked away to the , located in the heart of Costa.
