The 65-year-old actor and 68-year-old actress proved they continue to be on friendly terms as they walked arm-in-arm 12 years after announcing their split.
The ex-couple was joined by their 29-year-old, who was spotted walking closely behind them.
Banderas wore black trousers, a silver bomber jacket, and black clogs while holding a baseball cap in his hand.
Griffith was stylish in a pair of straight-leg blue jeans and a black moto jacket, along with lacy black fingerless gloves.
Stella, their only child together, was effortlessly fashionable in wide-leg white pants and a coordinating ivory coat.

In a statement announcing their split, they said, 'We have thoughtfully and consensually decided to finalize our almost twenty-year marriage in a loving and friendly manner honoring and respecting each other, our family and friends and the beautiful time we have spent together - Melanie & Antonio.'
Banderas referred to his ex-wife as 'family' and 'one of my best friends' in a 2019 interview with Vulture.

'I am not married with Melanie anymore, but she is my family,' he declared. 'She is probably one of my best friends, if not the best friend that I have. My family is there, Dakota, Little Estella and Alexander.'
The Zorro star admitted he was smitten by the Hollywood vet the first time he saw her, at the 1989 Oscars.
He recalled: 'The first time I went to the Academy Awards after we got a nomination for Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, we got on the red carpet and I saw this blonde woman and I knew her because I saw movies of her, but I didn't remember [her name] at the time.
'So, I said to Pedro Almodóvar, "Who is she? Who is she? What is her name?" Pedro said, "That's Melanie Griffith!" I said, "That's it. Oh my God." Six years later, I was married to her.'
