The Arraijanal Marina implies the construction of a large complex of residential developments, sports and commerce buildings and hospitality constructions in a coastal parcel of approximately 50 Ha, close to Malaga airport. The complex includes 1,500 homes and 200 commercial premises associated to what will be the biggest sport harbor of Costa del Sol, with almost 1000 berths. The whole complex represents a global investment of 120.2 million euros, out of which 24 are direct for the docks work, the accesses creation and building constructions, which constitute the Esteyco designs for the project. Some of the more complicated areas for the design are the diversions and the connections with the national road, due to the proximity of the Guadalhorce estuary, as the Marina’s groin could be a barrier for the sediment (carried by the river) distribution, in such a manner that the adjacent beaches would suffer a regression.
