Actress Eva Longoria and her husband, Pepe Bastón, have been spotted having lunch at the Sol y Sombra restaurant at the Don Carlos Hotel in Marbella, one of the most exclusive spots on the Costa del Sol.
Actress Eva Longoria and her husband, producer Pepe Bastón, have been seen again in Marbella. The couple was captured this Thursday, July 8, at the Sol y Sombra restaurant at the Don Carlos Hotel, a venue that has become one of their favourite corners of the Costa del Sol. There, they shared a relaxed lunch on the terrace, surrounded by Mediterranean gardens and with views of the hotel pool.
A refuge on the Costa del Sol
Since acquiring a spectacular home near Puerto Banús in 2023, Longoria has strengthened her ties with Marbella. The actress, known for her role in Desperate Housewives, splits her residence between Spain and Mexico. Whenever her schedule allows, she takes the opportunity to enjoy the climate and cuisine of the area.
In the exclusive images obtained, the actress is seen wearing a white beach shirt dress, paired with a hat to protect herself from the sun. Beside her, Pepe Bastón opts for a casual look, with a fuchsia shirt and sunglasses. Although the faces of the other diners are not distinguishable, it is clear that they were sharing the table with another person.
The culinary offering of Sol y Sombra
The Sol y Sombra restaurant has established itself as a gastronomic reference in Marbella. Its menu pays homage to Andalusian cuisine, featuring dishes such as wild sea bass loin (€38), matured beef tataki (€42), or the salad of white prawns, octopus, and carabinero (€35). As described by the establishment, it is "a concept designed for Mediterranean after-lunch: lunches that stretch out amidst conversation, laughter, and the pleasure of sharing the table with family or friends."
For locals and tourists in Marbella, such sightings are not unusual. The city has become a regular destination for international celebrities, who find in the Costa del Sol a luxury and tranquil refuge. The presence of Longoria and Bastón reinforces Marbella's image as a cosmopolitan and exclusive enclave.
The actress is no stranger to the area. On previous occasions, she has expressed her love for Spain, even stating that "Spain is for living". Her mansion in Marbella, purchased three years ago, is proof of this. Since then, the couple has enjoyed long stays on the Costa del Sol, alternating with their professional commitments in Mexico and the United States.
For those wishing to follow in their footsteps, the Don Carlos Hotel offers a luxury experience in the heart of Marbella. The Sol y Sombra restaurant is open to the public, although reservations are recommended in advance, especially during peak season. Undoubtedly, a perfect plan for a long and pleasant after-lunch, like the one enjoyed by Eva Longoria and Pepe Bastón.
