First urban marina in Huelva
SPAIN: A new 400-berth facility has opened in Huelva in south-west Spain. The first urban marina in the port city, it enjoys easy access to the natural beauty of the Marismas del Odiel Nature Reserve while being close to the action of the city centre.
While offering full-service berths for vessels of 6-40m (20-131ft), the marina also offers temporary/transit berths for superyachts (up to 60m/197ft).
Environmental considerations have been uppermost in all planning and building works, and the operators, who hold the marina concession until 2059, have wasted no time in teaming up with TransEurope Marinas so as to garner network expertise and assistance in boosting visibility and promoting nautical tourism.
“Marina del Odiel is set to become a cornerstone of Huelva’s economic and social development,” managing director Manuel Jiménez Marquéz told TransEurope Marinas. “Its strategic location on the Odiel River, coupled with modern facilities and a commitment to sustainability, holds a great potential to attract both domestic and international visitors.”
“By prioritising eco-friendly practices, including waste management, renewable energy, and ecosystem conservation, we aim to create a model of balanced coastal development. This approach will not only minimise environmental impact but also attract investment, generate jobs, and foster collaboration with local industries like fishing and tourism.”
Maarten Desloovere CMM, chair of TransEurope Marinas, welcomed the marina to the group. “We are very lucky to have Spanish members in such a fantastic range of locations – from Galicia through the Straits to the Mediterranean and down to the Canary islands,” he said. “TransEurope Marinas’ expanding network, now including Marina del Odiel, offers our berth holders a wider range of destinations and enhanced boating experiences.”
