Filming in Puerto Banús, Marbella

A row of whitewashed blocks runs around the marina, three to five storeys, with terracotta tiled roofs and hand finished arches over the windows and balconies. No block around the basin rises higher than the next, and the same whitewash and arches repeat from one to the other. Narrow streets behind the quay open onto shaded patios, and palm trees and bougainvillea break up the long white walls. La Concha mountain fills the skyline behind the rooftops.

The harbour holds 915 berths for boats up to 50 metres across 15 hectares, with a sand beach on each side of the entrance. Motor yachts sit gunwale to gunwale along the quay for most of the year. A bronze rhinoceros by Salvador Dalí and a 26 metre bronze and copper statue by Zurab Tsereteli stand along the waterfront promenades.

The two marina front promenades, Muelle Ribera and Calle Ribera, carry global boutiques like Gucci and Fendi under canvas awnings. Antonio Banderas Square sits above the SABA Banús car park, next to Red Dog Cinema, a seven screen multiplex on Avenida Julio Iglesias.

Away from the marina itself, apartment blocks step back from the beach in white and pink marble, their terraces stacked one above another behind iron railings and palm trees. A paved promenade lined with palms runs along Avenida de Lola Flores, its paving patterned in yellow and red tile.
