Main Data

Location
The beach, where the new sport harbour is to be sited, is at the east side of the Cala de Mijas's urban area in the following geographic co-ordinates :

36º 30' 10" N      4º 40' 30" W

< La Cala beach                                                             El Faro+Fuengirola >

In the proximities of this strip of coast fish refuges or fish nursery are not located, that could be affected by the harbour construction. On the other hand, the piece of beach that occupies the concerned area has no significant use for leisure, reason why it is possible to hope that the location of the sport harbour in this municipality could mean a very important increase of Mijas' tourist potential without the deterioration of its infrastructures and present uses.

According to the available information in the navigation charts, provincial plans, observation in situ of the concerned area, its localization is approximately at the east of the urban nucleus of Cala de Mijas.

Under this assumption and considering an extension of sport navigation zone in the sense of the coastline between 450 and 500m, it can be expected depth to be of rocky nature in certain areas which in project had been destined to inner harbour.

These rocky depths could be extended between batimetrics 0 and -2 approximately, with a width towards sea between 80 and 100m. Therefore, it is to expect that a certain part of the total investment should be destined to dredge of the rocks.
