3 March 2023 Puerto Banus: The Sun Shines On and On

 


Another beautiful day in paradise!  It is occasionally chilly but that is small potatoes when we have the sun and the sea to enjoy.  Marbella has 325 days of sun a 90% sunny rate.  It is due to warm up next week so we are excited about that.  We took a 4 mile hike along the beach and got to see more of the area.  More dogs, families on walks, well dressed older women, high heels in the sand, designer footprints on the walkway, all sorts of personal transportation mostly bikes, scooters, electric and manual.  The walkway that we have in front is the nicest one of all.  It is wide and is entirely paved.  Further east we find had packed dirt and loose packed sand and some areas of boardwalk.  Many of the loose sand areas show evidence of bike tire sinking, a safety issue for bicycles.  Not a problem for the sure footed Leips.

More sailing


A tower nestled in the trees


Some parts of the "beach" are too meager on their own so a platform is just what the sunbathers need
