Marbella starts the revitalization of Avenida del Mar to turn it into a more sustainable space

The Marbella City Council has started the revitalization work on Avenida del Mar to transform it into a more sustainable space. Thus, ... has begun the repair of the unused fountains in this area to eliminate leaks and dampness that cause deterioration of the basins, "creating in their place some flower beds that beautify one of the most central and busy areas of the city and also providing them with ornamental lighting to enhance their presence." This was announced by the Councilor of Public Works, Diego López, who detailed that "these are interventions that are carried out according to the Maintenance, Conservation, and Repair Plan for all the city's fountains, currently focusing on those on Avenida del Mar and the one at the west entrance of La Constitución Park."

The councilor explained that these facilities "are deteriorated, have breaks that affect the watertightness of the basins, which is causing dampness and leaks in the underground parking," therefore "once repaired, they will be turned into planters, except for the central fountain, the only one currently in use, which will be restored." The work includes removing the current waterproofing and the gresite from the fountains, repairing the cracks, cleaning 1,050 square meters of walls with high-pressure water, and re-waterproofing all the basins. Additionally, 75 square meters of the marble that clads the fountains will be polished and buffed, damaged pieces will be replaced, and a new drainage network, a secondary irrigation network, and 1,280 meters of ornamental lighting will be installed.
