Mijas Marina

We have the pleasure to inform all our Web page visitors that the advance of the General Plan Urban Ordination of Mijas (in our case the sport port) has been approved in August of 2005. This news not only is important for all the work carried out during these years but also for the definitive project, which is the Marina Mijas port’s construction.

Mijas, as you know, is one of the town halls that today in a day follows a plan of impressive urbanistic development due to its leadership in the tourist market and residential tourism.

In this panorama, arises the idea of this project from a study made by the Mijas’s Townhall confirming that in this develop project is urgent the need of a sports port in the municipalities of Mijas. Nonsingle by the necessity but also by the increasing demand of pears positions.

This is, without any doubt, the complement that Mijas needs to be able to compete by the high standing tourism and with its local competitors, as we can prove in Marbella, Fuengirola, or Benalmadena, all are extending their ports due to the great existing demand of pears positions. The competition by the tourist market is hard and competitive every time, reason why this infrastructure is of extreme interest to give Mijas the incentive that needs.
