Benalmádena Town Hall invests over three million euros in the comprehensive reform of the Nautical Centre, a building from 2002 that had not undergone an intervention of this magnitude. The works, awarded to Sardesa, will last for 13 months.
The mayor of Benalmádena, Juan Antonio Lara, and the councillor for the Port, José Luis Bergillos, have visited the comprehensive reform works of the Nautical Centre of the Marina. The works are awarded to Sardalla Española, S.A. (Sardesa), involve an investment of over three million euros, and have an execution period of 13 months.
The building was constructed in 2002 and has not undergone an intervention of this magnitude since then. The reform includes the reorganisation and modernisation of the interior spaces, the renewal of the facilities and the envelope, and actions to improve accessibility. New public use spaces and resting areas will also be created.
Among the new features is the construction of a walkway that will connect the street with the upper terrace, the transformation of the auditorium into a multipurpose space, and improvements in the dining area.
“We are transforming our Port with actions and investments. We are allocating over 2.6 million euros to completely renew a Nautical Centre that has not seen a reform of this magnitude in over two decades. We want modern, accessible, and functional facilities, worthy of the Port that Benalmádena deserves and its tourist, economic, and sporting importance,” highlighted Lara.
The mayor framed the action within a broader strategy: “The Nautical Centre is not an isolated action. We are acting at different points and infrastructures of the Port to address a global transformation. After securing the extension of the concession, it was time to move from planning to works and recover facilities that have needed a profound renewal for years.”
The Town Hall managed to extend the concession period to maintain municipal operation of the Marina until May 2047. The Port approved this year over 3.6 million euros, excluding VAT, for actions related to the Nautical Centre, electrical infrastructure, access, and the entrance.
Bergillos pointed out that the reform aims to “adapt the Nautical Centre to the current and future needs of users, nautical clubs, companies, and visitors, improving both the quality of its facilities and the usage possibilities of the building.”
Lara added that the goal is for this phase of the Port “to be reflected in concrete actions and not just remain as projects.”
