The Mijas Town Hall prepares the beaches for Easter Week

Easter is approaching, and with it, the start of the high season for the tourism sector, which creates thousands of jobs in the municipality of Mijas. Therefore, the local council is preparing the beaches to look their best, as they do every year, in anticipation of the arrival of tourists by renewing the urban furniture and preparing the coastal strip. During these days, 3,000 m³ of sand are being added to El Charcón beach to mitigate the effects of recent storms, as explained by Daniel Gómez (PP), the Mijas Beaches councilor, during a visit to the works. New access walkways have also been installed in the four areas adapted for people with reduced mobility that comply with the regulations, meaning they are 180 centimeters wide. Additionally, 120 containers for waste sorting have been placed along the entire coastline. Regarding the conditioning work, the margins of six kilometers of the coastal path have been cleared, and all access points to the various beaches have been maintained. On the coastal path, deteriorated planks have also been replaced, and painting work has been carried out, as well as on the accesses to the coast. The council has installed a new lifeguard and first aid module on La Luna beach, plus two other restroom modules on Royal Beach and La Cala beach. During Easter, the lifeguard and first aid service will be operational, consisting of 62 people who will cover 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 tasks we perform all year round, we add these more intensive but very necessary ones due to the large influx of locals and visitors we expect," reported Daniel Gómez.
