The Mayor of Motril, Luisa García Chamorro met with the Junta de Andalucía representative, Rocío Díaz Jiménez in the first formal meeting on the new marina project.
The Agencia Pública de Puertos de Andalucía (APPA) approved a viability study for a Motril marina commissioned by the developers for the project.
The company that intent to build a marina on Playa Granada has now presented its viability report to the Junta de Andalucia. There Project has a budget of 85 million euros and would make a huge change to the prospects for this part of the town and tourism in Motril in general.
If you ever had any doubt concerning Costa Tropical’s lack of berths in its marinas (there are only two) then you need only compare our 407 berths to those available in Cadiz, 2,796 and Malaga 8,742. And of course, it when the summer comes around that the shortage is felt the most.
A proposed new marina could be in place in three or four years, and everybody’s talking about it.
Plans reveal berths for 800 boats floating in 97,000 square meters of water, and surrounded by a four-star hotel, restaurants, shops, and nautically-related businesses.
