A second mega golf complex has been given the green light on virgin coastline between Mazarrón and Águilas.
Murcia regional government approved the plan to build 6,000 homes, two golf courses and four hotels at El Ramonete near Puntas de Calnegre in the municipality of Lorca. Two of the hotels are due to be built on land close to the beach and another two inland.
The six-million-square-metre area is close to the Cartagena-Vera toll motorway which was opened in 2007.
The development, which is being promoted by Alicante builder Hansa Urbana, includes the protected Lomo de Bas natural area. It will be constructed on the same strip of virgin coastline as the controversial Marina de Cope resort which is set to be built near Águilas on 21 million square metres of land.
Electricity giant Iberdrola is investing 200 million Euros in this tourist and residential complex which includes five golf courses, 11,000 homes, 22,000 hotel rooms and a vast marina.
So much for protecting the coastline! I imagine the environmentalists will have a lot to say about this. As for Iberdrola, I’d rather they invested some of their money into preventing the electricity cutting out every time the weather gets bad!
