Four ice creams, €72. Yes, you read that right. Our sweet treat in Puerto Banús turned into one of the most expensive (and memorable!) family snacks we’ve ever had.
Quick tip: Puerto Banús is known for luxury yachts and designer shops—so expect the ice cream to come with a luxury price tag too.
👨👩👧👦 Our Family Ice Cream Story
We were strolling along the marina, admiring the yachts and shiny cars, when the kids spotted an ice cream stand. “Just one each,” we thought. Easy. Until we saw the bill: €18 per cone. Four cones = €72.
The kids didn’t care—they were thrilled, smiling with chocolate all over their faces. We parents laughed (a bit nervously) and promised ourselves this would be the only time. It’s one of those travel stories you’ll laugh about forever, even if your wallet cries.
Would we do it again? Probably not. Are we glad we did it once? Yes—because now we have a family legend: “Remember the €72 ice creams?”
