El Ángel Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

The colony of El Ángel, in Marbella, is a space full of history and plant life that will allow you to enjoy the peace and quiet that you so deserve.

Few Marbella natives know that between Puerto Banús and the golf courses of Nueva Andalucía lies the old colony of El Ángel. Book a holiday to El Ángel and discover this magical nook that will make you feel like you are in paradise without having to leave Marbella.

Between the Verde and Guadaiza Rivers an important colony dedicated to the steel industry was built. Over the years, the business ceased to be profitable, so during the second half of the 19th century the blast furnaces of the infrastructure were used to convert the place into an agricultural colony. Interesting, right? Well, with ourcheap trips to El Ángelyou can visit the colony at your leisure.

The agricultural colony also ended up disappearing and nowadays you will find a typical Andalusian scene with lots of little white houses. But that is not the biggest attraction: a botanical garden measuring 15,000 square metres awaits you, where you can lose yourself among its lush vegetation, its fountains and its ponds. Admire the orange trees and cypresses and relax with the sound of the water in the background.

Of course, theholiday packages in El Angel are ideal for discovering the charms of Marbella. Take the opportunity to have a walk in Puerto Banús, a great luxury marina and a tourist centre, or thoroughly explore the urban area and end up at the Plaza de los Naranjos, founded in 1485 after the Christian reconquest of the city. Oh, and do not miss the opportunity to enjoy the beaches in the area, such as Cabopino.

The Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport is only 37 miles from El Angel, a distance that will take you 40 minutes if you travel by car on the AP-7. If you depend on public transport, you must take a bus to the bus station in Malaga and then another to Marbella. Our deals for a flight to El Angel plus hotel will not disappoint you!
