Almuñécar’s presentation of their marina project did not go down very well in neighbouring Motril, who have their own one.
Motril will be using aerial drones in support of the Policía Local in their duties to control the town’s beaches during this pandemic.
We have just had the first weekend of obligatory mask use on our beaches which passed, thankfully, almost without incident.
Motril’s beaches can fit 71,000 beachgoers at a squeeze; in other words, this Motril has an extension of 238,000 sq/m.
A section of Playa Granada had to be closed off Saturday afternoon because it had reached it maximum occupation capacity on the present health norms.
‘The Lord Giveth and the Lord Taketh Away’ and the same can be said about the sea off Motril, except that it’s doing little ‘giveth’ and plenty of ‘taketh away.’
Parking along Motril beaches is going to be an issue this summer, as it was last year, with fines flying for parking on the beach itself.
The Marina project for Motril on Playa de Granada is progressing with the Landowners Management Board having met to approve the drawing up of the project draft.
Another victim of the present health crisis is the hugely popular Motril Airshow, which will now be postponed until September.
The Marina project for Playa Granada has taken another important step towards becoming reality – the Junta de Andalucía has come out in support of the idea.
