Exclusive in Marbella. How Antwerp resident Louis De Vries saw the chic seaside resort change: “This is no longer our Marbella” | Marbella Magnet for gangsters

“Marbella, ah, that was the Hollywood of Spain”, former football agent Louis de Vries (76) praises the elegant seaside resort in the early years that he lived there and had world stars such as Prince and Dionne Warwick perform there. But love grew cold. “Our regular places on the terraces were gradually taken by weird figures”, said Louis, who even witnessed a deadly attack one day. “No, this is not our Marbella anymore.”
