Reader’s Letter: Marina del Este

LHR Marina damage 03Dear Martin,
My name is Rolf Hedberg and the first time I came to Almunecar was back in 1968. I have now retired and since some time I live full time here in Costa Tropical.

I really enjoy your coverage of news around our area – congratulations to a nice publication!

So to the reason I write to you. Yesterday I took my family to Marina del Este since we had not been there for several years. I feel I have missed something in the news because what we saw was a view like if an earthquake had hit the buildings along the waterfront.

The harbor seems to be kept more or less in order but the shopping mall is almost completely abandoned and no wonder why, the buildings seem to collapse any moment from now. Instead of windows a lot of open gazing holes, cracks everywhere, no care of plants etc.

LHR Marina damage 01Have I missed something in the news? If not, I can recommend you to pass by and try to find out!

After all, the Marina is not all that old and if there are plans to build another marina in our neighborhood,  I feel that it would be worthwhile a second thought. If it isn’t possible to keep one marina up and running why waste money on yet another one?

It is a shame that such an attractive project is turning into ruins after such a short time. Not to mention how it affects the value of all property – even recently completed – that surrounds the hills above the marina.
