Fuel

Diesel is available from the Mobil station on the reception dock, open daily 0800-1200, 1300-2000 (summer), until 1700 in winter. A tip is to buy your fuel when you check-in and save the hassle of trying to get a place on the reception dock a second time.
Petrol (gasoline) can be bought from the fuel station in Avenida Marginal across the street from the marina stairs. However the latest information is that the marina fuel station, once renewed and the works completed, will be supplying petrol as well.
