Marbella charms diplomats from 19 countries on official visit

A GROUP of ambassadors and diplomatic corps representatives from 19 EU countries have been on a visit to Marbella.

Along with an official reception at the town hall, the visiting diplomats were taken on a tour of Marbella’s old town, Puerto Banus and other local attractions.

Local Mayor Angeles Muñoz explained during the reception that maintaining a good relationship with ambassadors and consuls is of vital importance to the city, where people of 140 different nationalities live.

The council offers space at the Palacio de Ferias y Congresos to those countries which do not have nearby embassies, giving diplomatic staff a place to receive and attend to their citizens.
