Marbella to Banús walk — lunch at Picasso

Plan€€SpringAutumnWinterHalf day44 min drive · 35 km

A cooler-months classic for working up an appetite: park by Marbella's marina and set off along the promenade towards Puerto Banús — about 6km of coastline, big villas and beach bars (stop for a drink whenever one calls). In Banús, lunch at Pizzeria Picasso on the front line — book ahead, it gets busy — then wander the marina gawping at the superyachts and supercars before walking your lunch off on the way back.

  1. 1

    Park at Central Park Marbella by the marina and set off around 11am.

  2. 2

    Walk the promenade the full ~6km to Puerto Banús — coastline one side, mansions the other; stop at a beach bar for a drink whenever you fancy.

Simon's tip

Start around 11am so you arrive hungry for a 1pm-ish table. Book Picasso ahead — the queue is real.
