A promoter in Puerto Banús invited us to a beach club with "free entry and free champagne". Inside, the bottle was €180, we were seated at a "VIP table" with a €60 minimum per person, and the bill came to over €300. Nothing was free. If a promoter approaches you, ask for the full price list before entering.
