I would guess it was when they developed the small fishing village back in the 70's. I used to think the Portmay was the first hotel built in San An but a local told me it as the Esmerelda that was the first(not around today)
 
Are those pics a bit large?

I have seen a very old pic of the bay taken from the beach that had some fishing boats and what is now the taxi rank etc in the background but I can't remember where I saw it.
