A Day Out in Marbella

We went for the day to the playground of the rich and famous, Marbella, here in Southern Spain. Our first port of call was to Puerto Banus. This is where you can really see "abundance". The sheer size and quantity of magnificent yachts was breathtaking.
You can see Suzanne standing by just one or two of the small ones.. The weather was perfect and the cars were incredible, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Bentleys, in fact the Mercedes and Porsches were quite commonplace! All around the port are every upmarket store you could think of and beautiful restaurants, one after another.
Our next stop was in old town Marbella, the ancient district. Here you can see one of many pretty little streets with potted plants all the way along outside the houses.
This is Orange Square in the heart of the old district where the aroma of orange blossom is quite overpowering. We sat here outside and had lunch with the most impeccable service and delicious food.
Of course we had paella, what else?
