Marbella is much more than beaches and luxury. The city and its surroundings offer a vibrant cultural scene through unconventional international festivals, which invite you to discover art in unusual settings full of history.

Independent Film Festivals
The Marbella Indie Film Fest stands out for its commitment to independent cinema and creativity. This event is held in emblematic venues in the city, such as old theatres and historic palaces, which provide a unique atmosphere for the screening of short films, documentaries and feature-length auteur films. The interaction between filmmakers and the public in debates and workshops makes each session an enriching experience.
Concerts in Unusual Venues
Marbella also surprises with concerts organised in unconventional venues. Imagine enjoying a musical show at sunset in an ancient castle or in the middle of a spectacular natural setting. These events bring together international artists in settings where the fusion of music and landscape creates an almost magical atmosphere, offering an intimate and unique experience for music lovers.
Cultural Fusion in Alternative Spaces
The Fusión Cultural at La Alquería is another example of the region’s artistic dynamism. This festival brings together local and international artists, musicians and chefs in a traditional setting near Marbella, where gastronomy, art and music combine in a multi-sensory spectacle. The union of tradition and modernity in this event enhances the cultural identity of the area, offering attendees a complete and diverse experience.
Jazz and Poetry Nights
For those looking for a more intimate experience, the Jazz and Poetry Nights in Marbella’s old town are not to be missed. The combination of jazz melodies and poetry recitals transforms everyday spaces into stages full of inspiration and emotion, where every note and every word creates a unique atmosphere to disconnect and immerse oneself in art.
