I´ve been struggling to get much sleep for the past few weeks. Apart from a bit of disturbance from the neighbours coming back from the odd night out while on holiday in Puerto Banus, the main problem has been the series of fireworks that have been going off, seemingly every night, normally at around midnight……………just when the parties are starting…………and I am trying to get to sleep!
The fireworks have signalled the start of various events and parties, most of which are held in the trendy beach clubs in and around Puerto Banus – places such as Ocean Club and Buddha Beach.

Puerto Banus was at the centre of the tennis world at the weekend. And I have to say that it was a very exciting place to be.
At this time of the year, Puerto Banus is always a magnet to a variety of visitors and holidaymakers, but with the Davis Cup quarter final between Spain and Germany being staged in the bullring in Puerto Banus, we saw an influx of tennis fans, bunting and flags for both countries taking part, a real sense of involvement in the local shops and department store, and an array of helicopters circling the port, to keep an eye on traffic and proceedings in general.

Sundays in Spain are special.
Here on the Costa del Sol, the shops only open on a Sunday during August and the run-up to Christmas. Apart from those periods, the shops never open on a Sunday.

Those of you who are already familiar with Puerto Banus will probably already know of the frontline Italian restaurant, Picasso. Serving a variety of pizzas, pasta dishes, salads and meat, this restaurant has been a thriving presence in Puerto Banus for several years.
Here we are in February, traditionally the quietest time for Costa del Sol tourism, and if you took a stroll around Puerto Banus at the weekend, you would have seen most restaurants struggling to attract diners through their doors – in fact, I noticed a few that were absolutely empty.

I´ve joined a gym.
Not sure why, and not sure how long it will last, but right now, I am a fully paid up member of a gymnasium in Puerto Banus.
I think it must have something to do with my mid-life crisis – I must surely be due for one as I approach my 40th birthday in May! Or maybe it´s just that I ate far too much at Christmas, and need to lose a few kilos.

Marbella and Puerto Banus have taken a bit of a battering lately – and I´m not just talking about the weather! Everybody seems to have had an opinion about the place…myself included!
It´s been a difficult winter here in Spain – the weather of course hasn’t helped, but as one of Europe´s leading real estate and tourist destinations, Marbella and Puerto Banus have suffered more than most from the devastating effects of the credit crunch, the global recession, and the reduced spending power of the Brits, its core target market. As previously reported here, expats have been going back to their homelands while businesses and those of us brave enough to remain have been feeling the pinch. Continue reading »

I was sitting in a bar in Puerto Banus on Sunday afternoon, watching my football team, Everton, beating Aston Villa in the FA Cup. With about 20 minutes to go, a familiar looking guy in a red tracksuit walked into the bar, and asked the owner if he could bring some people inside.
Within the following 5 minutes, about 20 strapping young guys in similar attire walked into the bar. It turns out that the familiar chap was Michael Laudrup, ex Danish football superstar, and the other guys in tow were the Spartak Moscow football team, currently managed by Laudrup.
