Yes, today we drove down the motorways past Malaga to Puerto Banus near Marbella. This is where many very rich people live and come for a holiday in the sun. We drove into the town and drove round the central streets looking for a useful parking spot. From here we could then take a walk round the exclusive shops and people-watch. We could not find a single parking spot as they were all taken by Porsches, Mercs, BMWs, Jaguars etc. So we left and headed back east!
As lunchtime was upon us we decided to take the motorway back towards Torre del Mar to find somewhere we could eat. Along the way I remembered that we once drove along the coast road between Rincon de la Victoria and Torre del Mar and there were places to eat along the way. By doing this we spotted a small bar and restaurant by the long beach and stopped. Not only were there parking spots but also a number of disabled parking slots free. One was right outside the restaurant.
We went inside and had an amazing fish lunch. They specialised in seafood and fish so we chose the dish that contained all the fish caught locally. It was piled up on our plates. I fought my way through but Pauline capitulated at the two thirds point. In addition we got a glass of water, bread and two small beers. The cost was 25 euros! Not bad at all!
Afterwards we headed for the Eroski Hypermarket to get our final food needs for our last week here. Pauline bought gifts in a nearby shop and we had ice cream before leaving. We got back and I took the food indoors and we read our Kindles until 9.00pm when I did some toast. We were still quite full from lunchtime.
We had a lovely day!
