Marbella council takes steps so that Starlite’s quarry venue can be used for other events

The old quarry is in an environmentally sensitive area and its owner, the Junta de Andalucía, leases it to the council which wants to see it used more often

Councillors in Marbella have drawn up a draft set of terms and conditions for the outdoor venue currently used only by the annual Starlite Festival to be rented out for other events during the year.

The large open-air space, an old quarry on the hillside above the Nagüeles area of the resort, is the home of Starlite in July and August; now the council has published on its website a list of proposed guidelines for using the site for other events so members of the public can give comments prior to its approval.
