A yacht has just arrived from wintering in Torrevieja and reports that work progresses on the new (third) marina. During the winter a Finnish yacht anchored apparently unmolested but the tender parking area, just up the little canal, now has inflatables permanently moored alongside the wall and the fence has been repaired (yet again) making it impossible to land there. The informant says that a beach landing seems the only way - which is hardly acceptable for any length of time in the summer.
Cartagena - the previously empty marina area by the fuel berth is now operating as a marina in no way associated with the other (Yacht Club) marina. It had previously been designated in pilots as reserved for super yachts. We believe it should be quieter and safer - don't know about prices. In answer to my question "next time you arrive in Cartagena will you steer to port to enter the old marina or to starboard for the new one?" the answer, without hesitation, was the new one - though note that they had been put alongside the town wharf in the old marina and that is a terrible spot for several reasons, as regulars will know!
