Puerto Banus

Puerto José Banús, more commonly known as Puerto Banús is a marina to the west of Marbella. It was built in 1970 by José Banus a local property developer, as a luxury marina and shopping complex for the jet-set and the super rich. The lavish opening of the complex in May 1970 was attended by, amongst others, the Aga Khan, Roman Polanski, Hugh Hefner and Prince Rainier and Princess Grace of Monaco.

The focal point of Puerto Banus is the marina. It has berths for 915 boats, including those of the King of Saudi Arabia and several of the world's wealthiest individuals. Behind the harbour lie streets filled with bars, boutiques and nightclubs.

Needless to say the many leading designer brand shops & restaurants reflect the wealth of the boat owners etc. Janet particularly like a Louis Vuitton handbag in a shop window at 700 Euro. However if you move back a few streets the prices are more reasonable & this is where we had our Menu del Dia.

The last time Barry was here was with Hitachi entertaing some customers for a new product launch. Well that was the reason given...

On Monday it is Andalusia Day so our site is now full as the Spanish enjoy the current lovely weather over the long weekend.

    This design is wicked! You definitely know how to

    keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog
    (well,

    almost...HaHa!) Great job. I really loved what you had to say, and more than

    that, how you presented it. Too cool!
