Marbella Spanish authorities have approved a plan to build a marina worth 400 million euros next to Puerto Banus. According Purple Cake representative of a local marketing company Factory Sarah Drane, the project will lead a consortium owned by the Sheikh of Qatar. Sheikh also owns football club Malaga. Sarah Drane notes that Puerto Banus every year takes about 5 million tourists. Although the port already has 915 berths and takes the whole "flotilla" of boats and yachts, the expert believes that Puerto Banus has serious competition from the nearby marina. The new project involves the creation of an additional 500 places, as well as the pier for cruise ships up to 200 m Source.: OPP
