The coastal corridor will advance along the eastern zone with a new section in the Matas Verdes area.

The City Council has put out to tender a new route for the pedestrian path that will connect the area around Playa Baños with Benamara.

The Estepona coastal corridor project, which is already more than 95% complete, will soon add a new section in the eastern part of the municipality. The Town Hall has put out to tender the contract for the execution of the works for the extension of the pedestrian path in the area of Playa Baños-Matas Verdes.

It will have 575 meters long wooden walkway and will allow the extension between the Avenida de la Playa, to the west, and the Marriott’s Playa Andaluza. In turn, it will connect with the coastal sectors of Punta de Baños-Casasasola and Saladillo beach. In the first of these, the pathway project is under study. In the area of El Saladillo, the works are underway.

The new project has a base bid price of 782,106 euros including VAT, and a completion period of 5 months.

The Deputy Mayor for Development and Infrastructure, Ana Velasco, stresses the objective of this action, which is to give continuity to the coastal promenade currently planned and in the process of implementation on the coast of Estepona, and in compliance with the provisions of the current general planning.

The actions planned for this extension of the coastal corridor have the authorization of the provincial delegation of the Department of Sustainability and Environment of the Andalusian Regional Government, which has reported favorably, also ensuring the protection of the entire environment.

As for the materials, wooden decking will be used on wooden structures, i.e., soft materials selected for their better adaptation to the natural environment. The promenade will be equipped with a safety railing and lighting.

The Estepona Town Council continues to work on the initiative to create a great coastal corridor connecting the entire coastline, which is already 95% complete, with this new section, the momentum that has just been given to the work in the Benamara area and the projects for the new sections to be conditioned in the areas of Bahía Dorada and Atalaya, which are under study.
