"Spain, Puerto Banus area" a Spain Travel Page by pauleast

Just back from another short trip to Puerto Banus where we stayed at Hotel Andalucia Plaza. Excellent hotel with good 4 star facilities and the biggest foyer/common areas I've ever seen in a hotel!
Casino attached to hotel open till 5am provided some enetertainment after sampling nightlife in the Port area.

Courses played were:-

1. La Cala - a favourite of our previous gold trips and this year proved no exception. Stunning views across Andalucia and the backdrop of mountains and views ot over the Med are incredible.
the golf course provides 36 holes of hilly and testing golf requiring accuracy and guts!

2. Attalaya Old - a more English style course with some good golf holes. A good round will provide some decent scores here and is also playable by higher handicappers

3. La Duquesa - a testing tightand hilly course which winds its way through villas and new and still being built property. A course that has some intersting holes but let down by poor condition in places and unusual positioning on some holes. Not for the faint hearted as villas are likely to come into play for some drives!

Abundance of bars, clubs, restaurants and just general people watching!

Favourites include Sinatra's Bar on corner of Port area where everyone meets!
Move on to Vinny Samways for some good music and beer with a cool crowd
Red Lion provides some more traditional English type decor
Linekers - busy like everywhere here
Marvellous Bar - make up your own mind but didn't think it was very marvellous personally
