Marbella white out

MARBELLA is finally cleaning up its act.

The town hall has given business owners in the old town three years to paint their shopfronts white or terracotta.

The move aims to put an end to the spread of fuchsia and pistachio-coloured shops and bars in the historic quarter.

“We have chosen these two colours to maintain a typical image of an Andalucian village,” said councillor Santos Pedrazuela.
