LUXURY: Puerto Banus as seen from the Sky Lounge bar

LUXURY brands have not lost their confidence in upmarket resort Puerto Banus. 

It comes as Hermes is set to reopen its new store in the Marbella hotspot while Fendi also set to arrive next year. 

Dolce & Gabbana has also invested in new space in the resort and Versace will reopen there this month. 

D&G’s flagship store will arrive in autumn and will be one of two in Spain.

The port was first opened in 1970 and has built one of the largest concentrations of designer and luxury brands in Europe. 

Fendi, an iconic Italian brand known for launching El Baguette, the first bag in history with more than six hundred versions, will join the exclusive selection of stores in 2020. 

In a commitment to keeping Banus’ Andalucian feel, every store must have white facades and use only white or cream colours for their awnings while leaving the pavements untouched.

A judge has ordered the Valencian Ministry of Health to compensate 150 Alicante health workers who did not have any proper PPE equipment in the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Alicante court says doctors, nurses, and health support staff are entitled to compensation amounts varying between €5,000 and €49,180 for 'personal and moral damages'. There has been no comment from the Valencian government or Health Ministry. It's presumed that an appeal will be launched against the ruling. The lawsuit was filed against the regional Health Ministry by the Sindicato Medico(Medical Union). It claimed compensation on behalf of 150 Alicante area members for the 'non-compliance' of the Ministry for not providing safety protection between March and May 2020. The Alicante court ruling obliges each worker to get €5,000 if 'they were forced to work without adequate protection elements'. The payout is €15,000 for 'each workers who had to go into isolation if they were in contact with anybody infected with COVID-19'. A €35,000 payment is ordered for any worker 'infected with COVID-19 but who did not require hospital admission'. Any health worker who did catch the coronavirus and was hospitalised will get the highest amount of €49,180. The Sindicato Medico says that it is pleased by the recognition the court has given its members and pointing out the 'negligent attitude towards health and safety' of health workers. Similar claims have been filed in other courts in the Valencian Community.
