Autonomous regions share common interests


S


ome of the finest nautical destinations in the world can be found in Spain, which has steadily


developed its marina industry to meet the growing demand for yachting facilities, not only in the warm Mediterranean, but also on the Atlantic coast of North- West Spain. They are generally


well-equipped with the services expected by today’s leisure sailors and the impetus to add value has been boosted by the need to cater for larger vessels as the number of superyachts afloat continues to grow. A few marinas such as Vilanova


Grand Marina – Barcelona, which lays claim to being the first marina


in the Mediterranean conceived and designed exclusively for superyachts with specialised facilities and comprehensive services to accommodate these types of vessels, and Port Tarraco (see pages 22-24) focus on this high-end market. However, many


other Spanish marinas have also created additional berths for superyachts and megayachts, offering an exclusive service of the highest quality.


Spain is divided into 17 regions


called autonomous communities with their own executive, legislative and judicial powers. Reflecting this situation and unlike France or the UK, which have national marina associations, the industry in Spain is represented by eight organisations for coastal regions and island groups. These are: Andalucia, Asturias, Baleares, Canarias, Cantabria, Catalonia, Galicia and Valencia. They all share common


interests in developing new marinas and improving existing facilities. Calero Marinas has been particularly active in the islands of the Canarias with two top-level nautical facilities in Lanzarote (Marina Lanzarote and Puerto Calero) and another marina on the island of La Palma (Marina La Palma). A new project to be known as Marina Jandia is currently under development in the South of Fuerteventura. The Spanish marina industry


also plays an important role in promoting nautical tourism whilst safeguarding the marine environment through the provision of pump-out systems, waste collection services and by encouraging an eco-friendly attitude amongst berth-holders at individual marinas. Spain is in third place behind The Netherlands and Germany for marinas awarded ‘Blue Flag’ status for protecting the marine environment. Staff training and the


development of management skills are also topics of importance to Spanish marina associations. In a coastline of approximately


8,000 km around the peninsula and the Balearic and Canary islands there are over 350 marinas, with more than 125,000 berths. Almost two-thirds of these harbours are in the Mediterranean area. The others are located in the Atlantic provinces and beside the Cantabrian Sea.

In the past 30 years, the


annual increase in the number of moorings has remained constant, resulting in an estimated rise of over 250%. The size of berths has also increased to keep pace with the average length of the vessels registered. In addition, the sailing facilities built in recent decades have generally provided more


space than those constructed in the past.


A high occupancy rate at


Spanish marinas generates regular employment and this, in turn, ensures that leisure sailing continues to make a significant contribution to the economies of the coastal communities in which they operate.
