Estepona council are going to execute a total of 250 work actions along the
coast to prepare the beaches of the municipality before the start of Holy Week.
The councilor responsible for the Playas area, Susana Aragon, has indicated
that, after the storm of last week, the Consistory has begun work so that the
coast is in optimal condition for tourists visiting the city During the holy
week.
Aragon has indicated that since this week two
bulldozer machines are working on sand movements to recover the profile of the
coast that was affected by the swell and the strong winds of last week.
The works with the machinery have begun next to
the Jacaranda building in Punta de la Plata and in the Padrón area. In both
enclaves, steps of sand caused by the storm are being eliminated, the surface
is being flattened and in addition, the entire area is being cleared and
cleaned.
Susana Aragón pointed out that at the same time
that action is being taken on the profile of the entire coastline, other
actions are being carried out, such as the installation of showers, litter bins
and walkways, the development of bathroom modules and the painting of access areas
and the sifters.
The Consistory will intensify the works to
fine-tune the sanitation and the services of light and water. In addition, the
oases have been arranged and the accesses have been conditioned from the
promenade and the coastal path. In the works planned for the next few days,
special attention will be paid to the preparation of the fronts of chiringuitos
and hotels in the town that are on the beachfront.
The municipal official has indicated that the
maintenance of the beaches is carried out throughout the year “so that
with the arrival of good weather they are in a good condition for the enjoyment
of the citizens”. In this regard, he stressed that “a tourist
municipality like Estepona cannot afford to leave the maintenance of beaches in
the background”. Therefore, “the government team is strongly committed
to improving the coastline to present its best image before the influx of
tourists that is expected for Easter.”
