The mayor, José María García Urbano, and the president of the Provincial Council, Francisco Salado, open the new path that connects El Saladillo and the surroundings of Dos Hermanas.
The municipal project, which has been working since 2011, is already 95% completed.

The Estepona City Council continues to work on the initiative to create a great coastal corridor that connects the entire coast and today inaugurated a new section in the Benamara area, so that the path now reaches 95% completion and connects more than 20 linear kilometers of coastline.

The mayor, José María García Urbano, and the president of the Provincial Council, Francisco Salado, along with the president of the Association of Municipalities of the Costa del Sol West, Manuel Cardeña, have visited this new walk that connects the planned El Saladillo, which is under construction, and the environment of the urbanization Dos Hermanas.

It is a paved walk of three meters wide which recovers the coastal strip of the municipality for public use, pedestrian, bicycle and light vehicles. The works were awarded to the company Transportes y Excavaciones Valle del Sol, SL for 918,354 euros (VAT included), financed by the Consistory.

The mayor, José María García Urbano, stressed the great value of this sustainable urban development initiative, which has meant preserving this coastal space becoming a new tourist attraction for the municipality. In this regard, he recalled that the construction of a large pedestrian corridor connecting the entire coastline of Estepona is a project on which work began in 2011, being one of the strategic initiatives marked at the beginning of his administration as mayor, and has advanced that work continues on the remaining sections so that the entire project can be a reality within this year 2025.

García Urbano thanked the Provincial Council and the Association of Municipalities of the Costa del Sol West for their involvement with this initiative, in which both institutions have been collaborating in several of the sections through co-financing.

For his part, Francisco Salado has congratulated the mayor of Estepona for his drive and his clear commitment to the Coastal Path of the province, an initiative that launched the council with the collaboration of coastal municipalities and the Junta de Andalucía, and is serving to boost and give more tourist attraction to the municipalities.

García Urbano has indicated that work continues on this initiative with the tender for the works of the section corresponding to the area of Playa Baños-Matas Verdes, and the drafting of projects for Bahia Dorada and Atalaya.
