Beach art

THE rescue and lifeguard modules on the beaches of Mojacar are coming to life thanks to the artists who, commis‐sioned by Mojacar Council, have man‐aged to bring the seabed and its most emblematic species to life.

At the moment whales are the main subject of the first set of work found on the Piedra Villazar beach in front of the Parador.

Over the next few days, works will be completed on the Venta del Bancal beach in front of the Hotel Indalo and another on Lance beach.

All the works have themes of the sea and its inhabitants.

Maria Angeles ‘Maki’, a photographer specialising in cultural events, and Nico‐las Rodriguez, have the job of adding beauty and a life of their own to the new rescue and lifeguard modules, a beauty and spectacularity which does not go unnoticed by bathers or passers‐by.

As you can expect it was a physical battle and there were some controver‐sial decisions with Almeria convinced they should have had two penalties toward the end of the match.

This project is a Mojacar Council ini‐tiative that highlights the artistic charac‐ter of the locality, evident in all corners of the municipality.

The beach art is complemented by characteristics of the beaches and ser‐vices which every year the local council improves, supplements and updates.
