What are the pros and cons of living in Marbella?

Expats, digital nomads and retirees living in Marbella responded:

"Expats and digital nomads living in Marbella enjoy the warm climate, beautiful beaches, and vibrant nightlife. They also appreciate the city's proximity to other cities in the region, such as Malaga and Granada. Additionally, the cost of living in Marbella is relatively low compared to other cities in Spain. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find the city to be too touristy and overcrowded during the summer months. Additionally, the language barrier can be a challenge for those who do not speak Spanish," explained one expat in Marbella.
