Marbella Dolphin Watching
The geography of Europe and Africa has turned Marbella and the rest of Costa del Sol into a popular destination for whale and dolphin watching. Millions of years ago, Africa and Europe sat adjacent to each other. Eventually, the two continents grew apart, forming the Straits of Gibraltar. When the continents moved apart, water from the Atlantic flowed back to the Mediterranean Sea and brought marine life back to the area. The Straits are on the path many whales and dolphin now take to migrate each year. In addition to spotting dolphins and whales in the Straits of Gibraltar, you can watch them in the Bay of Gibraltar.
