Digger man was playing in the site quite a bit recently, however, it's hard to tell what he has done.

I am told that most of the new properties above the marina are sold,so the bank is going to carry on with the development.No movement on the part built hotel though.

Well whatever is going on let's hope it doesn't end up another disaster like Oceanville or the several half built ruins up in Sesmarias and São Rafael.
I shall keep watch. |

Please see https://cubsur51.wordpress.com/2016/02/22/albufeira-marina-on-a-sunny-february-day/
A few pictures from yesterday via that link. Take a look please. Questions : it can now be seen that some kind of drainage or sewer line is or was being built behind the great wall. But the manhole openings are about 6 feet above current ground level. Why? (Only one excavator thing now on site, no signs of any other activity.) And what sort of fish are they? |

Nice pics, looked a lovely day. Weve always wondered what type of fish they are too as we often feed this type when visiting Villa Real Santo Antonio.

I don't think that is a sewer pipe, it looks more like a cable duct. (I work in pipe for my sins)

last October in the "swampy"area at the town end of the Marina there was an overpowering stench of sewage.

Mullet tend to inhabit marinas in the UK as well,so the conditions must suit them.
There is going to be a lake (pond???)behind that retaining wall.There is a model of the whole development in the sales office,on the square roundabout on the marina.

I am told that the mullet caught around the marina entrance taste like ***t.
Seems a strange way to build a pond. I hope it will be well drained otherwise it will become mosquito central. |

Indeed they are grey mullet. I personally wouldn't want to eat one knowing what their eating habits are. They will taste like ***t as they aren't too fussy what they eat including filter feeding around sewage discharge pipes
