One speaks about...
It has long been an ambition of the tourist and business community in Marbella to see the resort become a venue for cruise liners. The plan centers on the enlargement of the Marina-La Bajadilla port but that has been on hold for more than eight years. However the lucrative cruise ship business could now be on the horizon. The Qatari Sheikh, Abdullah Bin Nasser Al-Thani, actual owner of the Málaga’s La Rosaleda Football Stadium and the Football club FC Málaga, seems to be the key figure behind this amazing project.
