This modern sports harbour has had a long chequered history since first being developed by the English company Brent Walker. In and out of the courts for the past 10 years it has finally emerged from bankruptcy with plans to add further berths and develop the adjoining urbanisation La China. Construction of the Pueblo Marinero can now continue – a further 800 properties will be built - alongside a second hotel for which international hotel groups - currently French and American - are being invited to market and manage.
The local mayor Enrique Moresco welcomed the news and hoped that Puerto Sherry would now regain its international standing as a marina attracting more visitors to Puerto Santa Maria with another welcome boost to the economy throughout the year.
