Puerto Banus

We ventured down to Puerto Banus which is 8 kilometres down the coast from Marbella and is an area which was developed as a marina in 1970 and has become a very upscale area for the rich and famous.  Many movie individuals have homes here as well as wealthy Saudi Arabians and Russians. The stores and restaurants are very upscale and though it was worth a look it was not a place we would ever want to spend more time. We did have a wonderful seafood lunch right on the beach in a delightful restaurant where we were greeted by the owner and the food was delicious.  After looking at some of the huge boats in the marina we walked back the 7.8 kilometres along the promenade to our hotel.

The small boats were all tied up out far from the hotels and condos but were definitely more our style

Lunch at this delightful restaurant made the visit worthwhile
