Nueva Andalucía Lifestyles: Puerto Banús shopping
The skies are blue; the palm trees are rustling in the breeze; the sun is reflecting on the sea. It can mean only one thing: summer is on its way!
Puerto Banús is the place to be at this time of year. Whether you visit at the weekend or during the week, night or day, there’s plenty to do and see for all the family.
Shopaholics won’t know where to start, there’s so much choice! El Corte Ingles, Spain’s largest department store, has five floors selling everything from sports gear to washing machines, flowers to the latest hi-tech TVs and mobile phones, plus all the latest fashion. On the ground floor you’ll find an enormous supermarket crammed with goodies to fill your kitchen cupboards, fridge and freezer, plus a great range of toys, garden furniture, bathroom fittings, lights, books and DVDs.
Marina Banús is the shopping centre located right next to El Corte Ingles. Inside there’s a great selection of your favourite Spanish high street stores. Back out on the street, you’ll find yet more fashion chains, independent boutiques, jewellers, bookshops and accessories stores.
During the summer months, the main square in Puerto Banús, Plaza Antonio Banderas, is home to the artisan market, Artesana, where stallholders gather each year to sell their wares. It’s perfect for picking up unusual presents for your friends and family back home. There’s South American jewellery, Spanish pottery, colourful bags and beach wraps, even shoes and hand crafted wooden toys. Just on the other side of the main road, the weekly Puerto Banús market continues every Saturday. Located on the approach to the Nueva Andalucía bullring it’s awash with flowers, shoes, souvenirs, gifts, antiques and jewellery.
But if designer fashion is more your thing, head down to the Marina itself where a host of famous names have boutiques on the front line overlooking the yachts. Jimmy Choo, Tom Ford, Armani, Hugo Boss, Dolce&Gabbana are all open well into the evening so you can get your retail fix once the sun’s gone down, and perhaps enjoy a cocktail or two afterwards!
