The City Council awards the works to stabilize the wall of the coastal corridor in Playa Bella affected by the storms.

The works cover a length of 35 meters of wall, with backfill and micropiles, and extend to the existing access stairway.

The Estepona City Council has awarded the necessary works to repair and stabilize part of an existing retaining wall in the area of Playa Bella, which is affected by damage caused by storms. Specifically, work will be carried out on the coastal corridor that connects La Chimenea with Playa Bella.

The work will consist of repairing and reinforcing the wall, which will require backfilling and the construction of micropiles. In total, the work will cover a length of 35 meters. In addition, the work will also include the repair of the access stairway to the urbanization, which has also been affected and has cracks caused by the various storms.

The action has been awarded for 129,175 euros and an execution period of 45 days.

This section was inaugurated in 2015, has a wooden walkway of 325 meters long and has 320 meters. In its execution, a concrete retaining wall was built due to the clearing tasks that had to be carried out. The passing of the years and the effects of the sea storms have been causing damages that, although they were repaired in a previous intervention, now they need a reinforcement action due to the harsh effects of the waves.

The beaches of the municipality of Estepona have been affected for years by the effects of erosion, which causes significant damage to both infrastructure and equipment, so urgent intervention is needed to stabilize the coastline with the construction of breakwaters. This definitive solution, long claimed from the City Council to the central government, is necessary to stop the loss of sand and the advance of the waves that leads to significant damage, such as those who has been suffering this section of the coastal path in Playa Bella. However, the requests from the Consistory and by the mayor himself, José María García Urbano, have not been met.
