Marbella Family Fun Weekly Newsletter -- February 8, 2013 February 08, 2013 |
Marbella Family Fun update - Friday February 8, 2013 * English movie listings This is the listing for movies that are playing in Marbella and on the Costa del Sol in English from Friday February 8th until Thursday February 14th Cines Gran Marbella Puerto Banus:
A word of caution: This line-up almost sounds too good to be true for Cines Gran Marbella. Call the cinema before you head out if you don't have a plan B. It is not unusual for the Puerto Banus cinema to post wrong information on their website.
