AFTEr years of planning, the

fourth phase of Fuengirola seafront

promenade has finally been given

the go-ahead by the central

government.

Work on the €4.2 million project

is due to start after the summer and

has been approved at a council

meeting.

The news was announced by the

mayor, Esperanza oña, who

reported that she had received a

letter from the Environmental

Ministry, which approved an

agreement between the town hall

and the government to go ahead

with the work, which has been on

hold for 10 years. The project has

often met with the opposition of the

local socialist party in this time.

reformation works will be

carried out between El Bote

restaurant and the boundary with

Benalmadena, which is an

extension of 1,680 metres, in the

Carvajal area. The project will

make the area similar to the rest of

the seafront, with the same lay-out,

and traffic circulation and parking

will be maintained.

The town hall will put forward

€600,000 which will be made back

over approximately five years

thanks to fees for authorizations for

beach activities in that area, such as

sun beds, beach restaurants and

cooking facilities. These amounts

are normally sent to the central

government, but in this case, they

won’t be.

The central government will

assign the contract for the work

which the mayor said will improve

the quality of life of local residents

as well as attracting more visitors to

the area. She said that she hoped

everyone in Fuengirola would be

pleased with the development.

Mayor Esperanza Oña shows the plans for the seafront promenade.

Smiling faces as the long wait is finally over.

Facelift forlocal markets

The market stalls will now all have a similar appearance.

The town hall is supporting the event with a donation.

THe stalls at fuengirola’s Tuesday and sunday

street markets have been given a facelift.

The market held at the fairground on Tuesdays,

with more than 530 stalls, will be called

‘Multicolor 1’ and all the stalls will have awnings

of the same colour, as well as front panels in

different colours with the name of fuengirola and

providing information on the type of business and

what they sell. The market on sunday in Calle

Mendez nuñez, with 132 stalls, will be referred to

as ‘Multicolor 2.’

The aim is to smarten up the markets and make

them more attractive to both locals and visitors.

The mayor, esperanza oña, and the councillor

for occupation of the Public way, ignacio

souviron, visited the Tuesday market to see how

the stalls will now look. The Tuesday market in

fuengirola is the biggest in andalucia and one

which attracts the highest number of visitors.

Traders at the market were given six months to

change the appearance of their stalls.

The front panel, which is removable and will

only be used by traders when they are in

fuengirola, is colour-coded, so stalls selling fruit

and vegetables have a green panel;

those selling jewellery and gifts a

yellow panel; clothes and

household items, purple; antiques,

orange; shoes and leather goods,

blue; and those selling nuts and

dried fruits will be magenta.

a panel explaining this will be

placed at the entrance to the

markets. The mayor said there

are also plans for extra shading

between stalls to make visiting the

markets more pleasant in the hot

summer months.
