March is where Marbella's year visibly turns: the daytime high on AEMET's normal climbs to 19.6°C, rain drops to 4 days for the month, and sunshine jumps to 222 hours, up sharply from February's 180. The sea has not caught up yet, still close to its winter reading at 15.5°C on Open-Meteo's reanalysis. Semana Santa, the week of Easter processions through the old town, sometimes falls in late March and sometimes in April depending on the church calendar; this page and the events calendar both carry the confirmed date for whichever year applies. See Marbella in April for the same event when it lands there instead.
