The beach of El Charcón in Mijas will receive a contribution of 3,000 cubic meters of sand before Easter.

The Mijas Town Council is working on preparing its beaches for the high season, which begins with Easter week. For this purpose, they are renewing the urban furniture and conditioning the entire coastal strip. One of the focal points of the work is El Charcón beach. Here, 3,000 cubic meters of sand are being poured to regenerate it and mitigate the effects of the recent storms.

This was explained by the Beaches Councilor, Daniel Gómez, during a visit to the beach, where he also detailed that a new lifesaving and first aid module has been installed at La Luna beach, in addition to two other restroom modules at Royal Beach and La Cala beaches. New access walkways have been placed in the four areas adapted for people with reduced mobility that comply with the regulations, meaning they are 180 centimeters wide. Also, 120 waste sorting containers have been placed along the entire coastline.

Regarding the conditioning work, the clearing of six kilometers of the coastal path has been carried out, in this case from the edges, as well as at all the accesses to the different beaches. As for the path, deteriorated boards have also been replaced and painting work has been done, just like at the accesses to the coastline.

Also during Easter, the lifesaving and first aid service will be operational, which will consist of 62 people covering all the beaches from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM from April 12 to April 20.

"The beaches are our main tourist attraction and appeal, so we spare no effort to ensure they are in perfect condition and everyone can enjoy them. To the work we do all year round, we add these more intensive but very necessary tasks due to the large influx of residents and visitors we expect," pointed out Gómez, who estimated the investment made at 122,000 euros.
