According to witnesses, there were around 15 shots fired outside a popular shisha bar near the main entrance to the port.

In one video of the aftermath shared online by a British tourist, the caption reads: “A f*****g shooting pal!”

The shocking attack comes just days after another shooting, also in Puerto Banus, by a roundabout near the popular La Sala restaurant.

In that incident, two men on a motorbike and wearing helmets pulled up and opened fire at a yet unknown target.
