Marbella to Enhance the Old Town's Image with Decorative Canvases

The City Council of Marbella has launched a plan to install decorative canvases in the Old Town, mainly on vacant lots and unused estates, with the aim of improving urban aesthetics and enhancing the image of the most visited and emblematic areas of the municipality, as reported this Tuesday by the councilor of the West district, Alejandro González.

This was highlighted by the councilor during the presentation of the initiative, which is part of the Great Cities Tourist Plan of Andalusia and is being developed through the Commerce delegation and the West district.

González pointed out that this measure “will reinforce the image of the Old Town and will offer an even more attractive view of our city,” emphasizing that “it is a simple, yet very effective action that enhances the value of our most historic streets and contributes to boosting commercial and tourist activity in the center.”

The measure seeks to beautify the urban environment by placing these elements in different locations, especially on vacant lots and unused estates, to transform degraded spaces into visually attractive spots that improve the overall perception of the historic center.

These canvases, in addition to covering deteriorated areas, will display infographics and tourist promotional designs with images of Marbella’s main attractions, becoming a tool to reinforce the visual identity of the municipality and offer a more refined experience to residents and visitors.

The project, which began with the decoration of a vacant lot on Peral Street with the image of a traditional Andalusian facade, also includes other elements of urban signage and decoration, such as digital totems for tourist information, trash bins, and 'Instagram corners', which will complete the aesthetic and functional improvement of the Old Town.
