Marbella closes all city parks due to strong wind

The Marbella City Council has preemptively closed all public parks in the municipality today. The decision was made in anticipation of strong winds associated with the yellow warning for coastal phenomena issued by the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) for the Malaga coast. The Aemet warning will be in effect from 12:00 PM today, Sunday, until 4:00 AM on Monday, with westward winds that may reach force 7, with gusts of up to 60 kilometers per hour, but the strength has already begun to be felt this morning.

"These adverse weather conditions pose an added risk both in green areas and on public roads," warns the City Council after announcing the closure of the parks as a "preventive measure to ensure safety."

The City Council recommends "extreme caution" and assures that the parks will remain closed "until the weather conditions improve" and municipal services can verify that the spaces are "in safe conditions for reopening." The City Council appreciates the cooperation and understanding of the citizens regarding a measure adopted "exclusively" for safety reasons.
