For decades many famous faces have passed through Marbella and the surrounding areas. Many restaurants still have up those photos of their celebrity clientele for people to admire. Back in the 60’s Hollywood actors and actresses were often seen out and about along the golden mile in the Marbella Club or Puente Romano. In fact, many top names also owned a property or two around Marbella.
Audrey Hepburn, James Hunt, Sean Connery, Prince and royalty all were regular visitors and home owners in Marbella and even these days there are still lots of famous residents. It is not uncommon to bump into World number one men’s tennis star Novak Djokovic or find yourself in a queue at the petrol station with Hollywood actor and star of Rocky 4 Dolph Lundgren. There are also lots of part time residents in and around Marbella, especially football players and other top sports personalities.
