On Saturday morning I headed to Nueva Andalucia to one of the street markets. The market was a bit of a disappointment. Many of the items for sale could be found on St. Mark's Street in New York. But the weather was nice and I had a delicious lunch at a little cafe in the middle of all the hustle and bustle.
The afternoon was spent lounging at the beach and swimming in the indoor heated pool. (The Mediterranean was too cold to go for a dip.)
For dinner the group decided to check out Puerto Banús. Though this town is known as the nightlife and party center of the region, we were a bunch of early birds and headed out before the sun set to wander down the strip and check out the luxury yachts and window shop in the high-end stores.
We had a seafood dinner in one of the many restaurants that line the road along the water. The paella was by far the stand out dish with gigantic prawns and rich and creamy rice reminiscent of risotto.
After dinner the strip was hopping, with people from all over Europe decked out in their club-going finest. For our part, we got cones of gelato before taking a taxi home.
