Hello Chipmonk,
Since 2004 that I´ve been hearing about the Cala De Mijas port project, They even had a webpage, now..... I can´t find it googling so I will have to use the old reliable Web Ferret and see if at least something more official than news on the papers show...
Now a bit of "gossip" from a source that I can not mention, but I think it is Ok if I tell you that apparently the money due for the port at la Cala de Mijas..... ended up invested in the Hippodrome.... the horse racing place... I have no evidence to sustain this whatsoever as it was over a coffe ( him ) and a Coke (me) but..... that source ussualy does not give you the bull´s refuse...
There is no doubt there is an enormous demand for moorings over the coast, waiting lists at marinas are loooong..... the port is almost "necesary"..... from my point of view, off course.
Cheers,
