Benalmádena council has reopened Puerto Marina roads to traffic following fierce opposition from local residents and business owners.

Despite previous plans for a "radical transformation", officials scrapped the pedestrian-only pilot scheme this week.

A technical committee will now review the project area-by-area to find a consensus, balancing tourism and accessibility for those living within the marina.
