Best Marina Award goes to Marina de Motril

We had a delightful few days in Motril, Spain, at the best marina we’ve experienced thus far. The exceptional dock hands at this family-run marina not only assisted with docking but welcomed us warmly and took an interest in our adventures. The lovely staff in the office were also awesome, providing suggestions for sightseeing adventures and offering assistance in meeting our every possible needs. The marina offered fantastic amenities: a great restaurant, free bikes available for marina guest use – in excellent condition complete with bike racks & chains, car rentals available right at the marina, and a tourist map with local highlights that one could reach within an hour by bike or car. We enjoyed a scenic bike ride along the beach and savored wine and some savory tapas while watching the sunset at the marina restaurant. The city itself is clean and pretty, and there’s even a direct ferry to Tangier, Africa. Couldn’t have wanted for more! Marina Motril.
