Pier

Did I read sometime ago that they approved a new floating pier? If yes, when is construction supposed to start on that?

Nope. I went to the Ayuntamiento with the owner of the Picante and he made a terrific presentation of floating wave attenuators that could be built to order in place of a fixed pier at a huge cost savings and that would be more resistant to storms and earthquakes and require less maintenance. As far as I know no decision was ever made to use this technique.
