Puerto Banús was created in the 1970's and has become one of the key attractions in the Costa del Sol area, with 5 million visitors annually. There are many works of art here. With her location right on the beach walk promenade next to hundreds of yachts in the port, La Sirena has a prominent location in the sun and further enhances the natural beauty of the town and this area of Spain.
