While attending the annual Migas Festival in Torrox at the weekend, the president of the Junta de Andalucía, José Antonio Griñán, not only took the opportunity to announce the legalisation on January 10th 2012 of illegally built homes in the province and region but also stated that the Junta already has the environmental impact study for the building of a marina in Torrox and that the tendering process is expected to begin within a few months.
The president said the necessary steps are already in progress and the marina will be tendered based on a formula of public and private ownership. The president said that he expected an ample number of bidders for the contract and speedy realisation of the project.
Nerja Council, who dispute that anything has been agreed relating to the proposed marina, has once again expressed doubts about the validity of statements currently being made, announcing that they smack of electioneering.
