Visiting Puerto Banus... and Being Rich...

Another early morning rise today... something in the air?  so making the most of this morning I went for a nice run and walk along this beautiful coastline... so peaceful early in the morning, a little chilly, nice and quiet... the wind was brewing and as I looked up natures artist was creating a cosmic muriel in the skies...

Today we are going to visit Puerto Banus... we've heard a lot about it but it is nice to see it for your self...

Within half an hour, travelling on the toll road AP 7/E15 we were nicely parked in the underground parking at Puerto Banus... (4 euros an hour...) First stop of course was a nice cup of coffee at a corner cafe we found... with a beautiful view of all the mega yachts and the sun pouring down... relaxing and people watching again... and listening in on the people sitting near us talking about their latest purchase of a Ferrari and what they were going to do with the 1. 5 million euro they had just made...

The buildings, yachts, restaurants and shops all stood tall and grand... We took a picture of a Mega Yacht and sent it to our son with a message saying... 'we've put a small deposit down, waiting to hear when you can pick it up and make the final payment'.

I loved the name of a jewellery shop... Be Rich... it stated just what this whole corner of Marbella was expressing... Richness... and what everyone could allow themself to be... as richness dwells in the depth of every person... waiting to express and create their unique richness and have it reflected in their surrounding... what a wonderful world that would be...

I found a lovely boutique Custo, Barcelona that had some gorgeous and unusual designed clothes... for a reasonable price too... Time for lunch and we chose the Azul Marino Restaurant, 1 Linea, Puerto Banus... Reservation 952 811 044... specialising in fish, seafood and paella.  We had a 3 course meal for 17 euros... and a red tempranillo Castilla y Leon, Almenada.  They gave us a lovely warm soup and crunchy bread from the house to start with, as a starter we had Green asparagus au gratin and little squids & tarter sauce and for the main meal... fillets of sole in white wine sauce and Entrecôte.  For dessert we had lemon sherbet with cava and crepes... It was a delicious fine dining experience... for a very reasonable price...
