Disputes have emerged regarding proposed commercial developments at Port Adriano near El Toro beach. The environmental group GOB has filed objections against a project by Ocibar, which includes a wooden walkway, a channel covering, and new connection stairs. GOB warns of a “risk of privatization of public coastal space” and is demanding strict definitions for maximum capacity and commercial boundaries to prevent “functional privatization” of public areas.

In response, Port Adriano operations director Isabel Teruel stated the facility would be small, approximately 30 square meters, and integrated into the port concession rather than occupying the sand. Teruel emphasized the project would not include sunbeds and is intended to provide refreshments for visitors.
