Beautifying the beaches

A MAJOR refurbishment plan is getting underway in Nerja to get local beaches summer ready. A contract worth €38,000 was awarded to local company, ITESA Proyectos e Instalaciones on Thursday, February 2.

The company is now getting started on plans to refurbish the plumbing network at La Burriana beach in the town, a project that will take one month. Actions in the project include the installation of a new network of pipes totalling more than 650 metres in length.

The pipes will improve plumbing in services on the beach including public toilets, a first aid station, showers, foot washing stations, drinking water fountains and ornamental fountains.

The local councillor for Beaches, Maria del Carmen López, explained that the work is necessary to resolve existing plumbing issues including poor water flow in bathrooms. She added that the work will improve the services available on the beach for visitors and local residents during the busy summer season.
