You step off the marina breakwater and the harbor hum drops to a hush as the sailboat slips free. Mega-yachts line Puerto Banús like parked elephants; the engine idles, then the boat finds a steady glide and the coastline opens — palms, low-slung villas and a ridge crowned by La Concha that watches every turn.

Conservation
