Today we took the first long trip away from Benalmádena when we drove to Marbella. The roads took us down the coast for a while and then onto a four lane highway. After about 45 minutes en route we arrived . Marbella is supposed to be one of the poshest resorts on the Spanish coast. We might agree. We parked underground near the sea and went out onto the boardwalk. Much nicer than the one in Benalmádena .
We strolled for a bit and then went into a very nice restaurant just out of sight in the photo on the right. After a light lunch we walked some more in both directions. There were many lovely apartment buildings along the sea coast.
The lovely palm-lined boardwalk had many good looking places to eat and other shops. Not nearly as tacky as where we are staying, but where we are is still very nice. There seemed to be fewer Brits in Marbella.
The beaches were also very nice. They had showers to us before and after using the beach. See one of the showers here. How would you like this life-sized shower head in your bathroom?
We drove back to Benalmádena passing along a very nice main shopping street in Marbella and then on to the same highway as this morning. Back at the resort about 4:30, we did some laundry and got ready for supper. We had a lovely dinner in a restaurant along the “boardwalk” called Santa Ana Restaurante, so-named since the beach in that section of town is called Playa Santa Ana. We had a very good paella in a cozy room. There were only a few other tables occupied as seems to be the case at this time of year. We hope to have the paella once more before we leave for Paris on Saturday
