Getxo, in Spain’s Basque Country, is hoping to spend more than €31m upgrading its current marina and expanding the facility’s facilities.
Located on the Spanish North Atlantic coast, the marina in Getxo currently has 827 berths which will be overhauled, and the municipal authorities plan to build a new leisure and retail complex to accompany it.
Under the plans, the designed complex in Getxo will consist of a new hotel, sports facilities, a cinema, and a number of bars and restaurants, according to El Correo.
A contract for the planned construction work is scheduled to be awarded in 2023.
The marina in Getxo was opened in 1997. It boasts a dry dock with a surface area of more than 9,000m².
Located within Greater Bilbao, Getxo is the third largest municipality in the northern Biscay province, with a population of more than 78,000 inhabitants, according to the state-run National Statistics Institute
