A man standing on the sand called the authorities to alert them and ask them to remove the carcass.
But no one arrived to remove the cow’s swollen body which was then seen floating in the sea.
It is believed the cow’s body ballooned due to the build-up of gases after the animal died.
One local beachgoer said: “I’ve been sailing for 25 years and I’ve seen all sorts of strange things at sea.
“But never in my life have I come across a dead cow.
“This is, to say the least, absolutely unbelievable.
“Well then, little one, rest in peace.”
The poor animal reportedly washed up on December 19 and was spotted near the Cabaña Beach beach bar.
It is not known how the cow died before washing up on the beach.
Marbella is home to about 3,500 Brit expats.
About 60,000 holidaymakers from the UK head there every year too.
It comes after a human head washed up on a beach in Florida, sparking a police investigation.
The grim discovery was made by a worker who was raking Miami Beach.
He immediately called the Miami-Dade Police Department who confirmed that the head was human.
Meanwhile, foul-smelling black balls have been spotted on multiple Australian beaches – and experts are baffled as to where they came from.
The black spheres have been putting off scientists with their stench ever since they were first discovered.
And the answer behind the befuddling balls that have been washing up on Sydney‘s beaches has repulsed locals.
They are actually made up of everything from human faeces, to recreational drugs and medication.
University of New South Wales (UNSW) chemistry professor Jon Beves had no explanation for where the balls came from.
John also confirmed that the stench of the mysterious objects was “extremely unpleasant”.
He said: “I don’t know if it’s come from our local sewer system, or if it’s been discharged from a boat, or if it’s been washed from the sewers into the stormwater, or some other origin that we really don’t know.
“It seems they haven’t come from many different locations, they’re consistent with all coming from one location at one time.
“They smell absolutely disgusting, they smell worse than anything you’ve ever smelt.”
