Real-estate developer José Banús took three years to build this famous marina and it was fomally opened in 1970 by Prince Rainier of Monaco and his wife, Grace Kelly. It cost EUR5,499,260 and has room for 550 motor boats and yachts. It was designed as an exclusive harbour only, but has since turned into one of the Costa del Sol's major upmarket leisure areas and night-spots. It's now surrounded by expensive restaurants, outdoor cafés, bars and shops that give it the air of a well-planned market place.
