Benahavis based artist David Marshall has sculpture accepted for prestigious US exhibition

Scottish born sculptor David Marshall has joined forces with US artist Jennifer Baker to create ‘Man and Nature’, a stunning aluminium and glass sculpture of a climber. The piece was finished in summer 2019 and was recently accepted into the prestigious ‘Yosemite Resistance 35’ art show. 

Scottish-born Marshall, primarily works with metals from his workshops in Benahavis and Benaojan near Ronda, working with a network of local artisans and foundries to provide bespoke pieces, including interior design, signs, staircases, trophies and much more for his global corporate and private clients. 

His unique Daliesque cast iron sculptures are exhibited in galleries throughout the EU and more recently in the USA where he has opened a studio in Colorado.  David’s work is also available to view in the David Marshall gallery in Benahavis. 

David has explained that the sensory beauty of primitive natural materials and their transformation is his reason for existing and they provide a fascinating artistic challenge.

10 million euro campaign to ensure Marbella’s beaches will be ready to welcome tourists for summer 2020

In a recent meeting (14th May 2020) between the Mayor of Marbella, Ángeles Muñoz, Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla, of the Andalusian Government and Malaga’s regional Executive, it was stressed that visitors will be guaranteed safe beaches. 

An investment of 10 million euros has been earmarked to fund continuing efforts in hygiene, coronavirus prevention and infrastructure to ensure that anything relating to Covid-19 is well and truly under control, and to guarantee that the Costa del Sol is a safe destination for all visitors. In addition to intensive cleaning regimes, sign posts, capacity control and social spacing will be implemented. There will also be three different classifications, from ‘open to all’, ‘limited access’ and ‘closed’ to help visitors get maximum enjoyment and to ensure safety. 

The Andalusian Government’s commitment and investment will ensure that the beaches of this beautiful province will retain their world class reputation and will provide a benchmark for safe tourism.
