The April 22, 1963 presented Banús Marbella City Council a program of actions to develop in five years. Gradually incorporated partial plans that were approved with little objection. Envisaged the construction of urbanization in different phases divided into sectors, "superblocks", as planned in the district of Pilar de Madrid. The goal was to become a great resort with all its attractions and services a self-development paradigm of a new way of life based on leisure and, therefore, away from the years of living and hardship that hit Spain in the war. An ideal city, the largest urban operation in the history of Marbella, developmental expression of triumphant escape from autarky, we immersed directly in Europe since it showed the best image of the regime.
Banús in an interview in the magazine Notebooks for Dialogue, dated in 1977, said its new claims once developed the initial draft, "a town where art has a place where art teachers seasons pass, where there is a kind of university, where they can develop their powers safely ... are already making plans around that place where they can not into cars, but there will be about sites for parking. " He was referring to the planned self-sufficient villages in the memory management of the project: "To complete the pleasant living environment that we seek to create in our city, we need to collect in composition Park closed for housing units in these groups are going to be real people, obtain conditions and living environment similar to those of the region with its Mediterranean-Andalusian character set. In these villages with narrow streets and quiet plazas, where life has been to focus on the patios and gardens of the houses, and neighborhoods of these villages will be located housing for employees and servers as well and small craft workshops. " Urban substitution and recreation, in which the natives became part of an army services. A symbiosis of tradition and modernity marinated topics "humanistic." The proposal took effect, and several towns were built as was the case located in the Brisas del Golf, signed by Miró and José Antonio Serrano Suner, but were projects where the bohemian atmosphere conspicuous by its absence.
In 1962 they had begun the work of site preparation and installation of infrastructure even though the final general plan has not yet been approved. The planning was entrusted to Antonio Bonet Castellana, whose work in the management of the Manga del Mar Menor by that time had no Banús go unnoticed. In fact, the urbanization of the area has many similarities with what was to be built in Marbella, as well as legal aspects to qualify for Resorts Act to gain access to state credits. Bonet, who had achieved fame in the thirties of the twentieth century as a member of GATCPAC, for his collaborations with José Luis Sert and his training in the workshop of Le Corbusier in Paris, in addition to his work from exile in Argentina and in particular developer with projects such as Punta Ballena Uruguay and Buenos Aires plan, had returned to Spain in the early sixties to start a project in Salou with Jordi Puig Torné.
Bonet's partnership with these professionals, except in the case of Manuel Jaén, seems imposed by the developer because there is no link or continuity in the collaboration. A sort of professional fees, who knows if political interests, influence and favors, many of whom held positions in public administration.
Carlos Fernández de Castro had devoted his professional work to the postwar reconstruction. In 1943 he was the chief architect district of Almeria. The father of Frederick Turell Moragas, Frederick Turell Boladeras, accumulated institutional charges as the undersecretary of the Ministry of Public Works in 1949, Chairman of the Board of Public Works and fifty 1os president of the Technical Institute of Construction and Cement also participated in the project Barrio de la Concepción de Madrid since 1948. Jaén Manuel Antonio Bonet worked with in his studio in Madrid and from the late fifties began working on numerous projects in Marbella with Carlos García San Miguel. Toralles Eduardo Lopez was the municipal architect of Cuenca and the union work from home in the fifties. Lorenzo Romero Requejo had been part of a team, with Turell and Fernandez de Castro, for the design of the Barrio de la Concepción. Tomas Rodriguez Rodriguez had worked with Toralles and others in the Town of Our Lady of Begoña absorption between 1957 and 1959. Francisco Hurtado de Saracho was a member of the Royal Academy of San Fernando, Vice Mayor of the City Council Bilbao and worked for Iberduero and Banco de Bilbao, one of the main entities in the financing of Banus, that through the real estate Bilbao prompted the construction of the farm under the direction of Luis Aloha Angoloti Apolinario Fernandez de Sousa.
The sense of the development was intended to blend the interior with the sea through a central communication hub that would link the residential area port, crossed at right angles by the road. The housing development was planned in closed compositions in order to assimilate to the Andalusian villages, as well as open areas connected by wide boulevards, the cities own garden, including two major north-south axis and a road round. Any action would be designed to not break the landscape.
In those years, began the construction of a building for pigeon shooting, beach club and entertainment center, signed by Martin Abbad Bordiú, the Jai-Alai fronton, by Ugalde and Secundino Zuazo Zuazo Javier Bengoa, which was located next to the bullring Designed by Luis Maria Gana, who around the same time had made the design of the plaza de toros de Bilbao. In 1965, Luis Gutiérrez Soto initialed Golf Club, predecessor of the current Golf Hotel.
In 1970 there completed the construction of the port, a marina with 550 berths and an investment of 915 million pesetas. Two years after the famed Italian architect Paolo Portoghesi presented with the signing of Antonio Delgado Roig indoor pool project south of the road. In 1973 began the work of the church. The basic principles of the ideology of Banus were formed in a presentation as diverse as the architects involved. In practice, though undermined by many subsequent amendments, remained the initial design of Bonet. It peered an open horizon to the entry of foreign capital.
