Restrictions on opening hours result in tailbacks near Puerto Banús

The new restrictions on non-essential businesses across Andalucía has had unexpected consequences on the roads in Marbella.

Kilometres-long tailbacks have been frequently reported on the A-7 between San Pedro and Puerto Banús as workers in retail and hospitality, as well as their customers, all head home at the same time, using roads that do not meet current legislation.

The volume of traffic reported from 6pm onwards is similar to that of at the height of the summer season.
