Spanish resort popular with celebrities named Spain’s worst seaside town
manchestereveningnews.co.ukA Spanish resort that’s dubbed a ‘superyacht hotspot’ popular with the rich and famous has been named Spain’s worst seaside town in a new survey.
Puerto Banus, a suburb of Marbella, ranked bottom of a list published by consumer champion Which?. Developed as a playground for celebrities and even royalty, Puerto Banus has streets lined with designer shops and a marina full of the world’s most expensive yachts.
The marina’s opening party back in 1970 had a star-studded guestlist, including Hugh Hefner, the Aga Khan and Princess Grace of Monaco and it continues to attract big names today.
Yet holidaymakers have described it as “tacky” and a “seedy dump” in the Which? Survey of Spain’s best coastal resorts.
