Estepona City Council begins procedures to repair the Coastal Path at Playa Bella

The Estepona Town Hall has initiated procedures to repair and stabilize part of an existing retaining wall in the Playa Bella area, ... affected by storm damage since 2015, the year this section was inaugurated. Specifically, the intervention will take place on the coastal corridor that connects La Chimenea with Playa Bella, and the tender for the contracting of the works has already been opened.

The base price of the work tender has been set at 74,099 euros. The execution period for the works, once awarded and the contract signed, is estimated at one and a half months.

The Estepona Town Hall considers the stabilization of the coast with the construction of breakwaters or any other solution "as determined by the Coastal technicians" to be urgent. The beaches of the Estepona municipal area have been affected for years by the effects of erosion, which causes significant damage to both infrastructure and facilities. Breakwaters are necessary to stop the loss of sand and the advance of the waves that result in significant damage, such as that at Playa Bella," municipal sources assert.

Finally, the Town Hall reports that "the mayor, José María García Urbano, conveyed a few months ago to the central government his willingness to assume from the Town Hall the drafting of the necessary projects to provide a definitive solution to the situation of Estepona's beaches under the coordination and with the necessary authorizations from the central government and competent entities. However, so far no response has been received, and Estepona's coastline continues to suffer the effects of the storms."
