At the moment there is a lot of construction work in the port of Motril and a huge new 80,000 sq metre quay was opened. It is hoped that the opening of the new quay, the 'El Muelle de las Azucenas', will see the port of Motril being able to accept cargo boats for the first time. Explore the quay or take a day out to head up to the Sierra Nevada ski resorts with your Mijas car hire vehicle, if you have not found any Mijas car rental services, then contact Helle Hollis to see how we can help. Phase 2 of the port expansion should be finished by mid 2006 and the combined extension works are expected to lead to a huge increase in the number of vessels passing through the port. The main sightseeing feature of the town is the main Town Hall, an impressive Baroque style building that was built in 1631. It is also worth seeking out the Casa de Las Palmas which is a well preserved 16C Sugar Mill. Motril also has its own Golf Course, Club de Golf Los Moriscos that has a neat 9 hole course that is set within some beautiful scenery. For beaches you need to head to either side of Motril port where you will find Playa Granada and Playa Poniente. Playa de Poniente is the livelier of the two beaches and generally offers a full range of water sports activities. |
