Square makeover
THE Castillos del Mar square in La Manga del Mar Menor is undergoing a renovation project. The aim is to revitalise the area and enhance its accessibility, making it a vibrant hub for residents and visitors alike.
The extensive remodelling includes the creation of new green spaces, children’s playgrounds, and dedicated areas for healthconscious activities, ensuring a wellrounded experience for all.
With completion on the horizon, the works are part of the larger ‘Plazas al Mar in San Javier’ initiative, which boasts an investment of €1,964,037. The project falls under the framework of Edusi, with 80 per cent of the funding provided by European Feder funds and the remaining 20 per cent by the regional government.
During a recent visit to the site, the acting councillor for Development and Infrastructures, José Ramón Díez de Revenga, joined forces with Mayor José Miguel Luengo to emphasise the predominant focus on pedestrianisation. A wooden pedestrian walkway will link the revamped Castillos del Mar square to the upcoming Zoco square, creating a seamless transition between these two spaces.
