The parlour is found in city’s Old Town — a party resort popular with the rich and famous.

Afterwards, the venue wished her: “Congratulations on the World Cup, a pleasure to see you in Marbella and the Old Town.”

She has not been photographed in public since Spanish FA president Luis Rubiales, 46, kissed her on the lips at last month’s final — sparking outrage.

It happened during the trophy presentation following their 1-0 victory over England in the Women’s World Cup final on August 20.

The striker later admitted it was not consensual and she “did not enjoy it”.

Rubiales’ “deplorable” behaviour was widely condemned but he ignored mounting pressure to quit.

On Friday Rubiales maintained his bullish stance, releasing a statement saying: “I am the victim of an unprecedented political and media lynching.”

Sensationally he’s also claimed that the kiss was consensual and he was “advancing the feminist cause”.

Rubiales has been banned for 90 days by FIFA and the Spanish Sports Administrative Tribunal has opened an investigation into serious misconduct.

Spain’s FA, The Royal Spanish Football Federation, have launched their own internal investigation.
