THE work on the new sports pavilion being built in the southern extension of San Pedro Alcantara is now 70 per cent complete and is scheduled to open in early 2024.
Mayor of San Pedro, Javier Garcia, confirmed: “The new pavilion is a major, modern and versatile project that will respond to the demands of residents and clubs.
“The area around Calle Lyon, where the infrastructure is located, is being transformed into a large area of facilities including public housing, a multipurpose facility, playgrounds and a senior citizens’ centre.”
The mayor added: “The complex will have a central multipurpose court, with an area of 1,700 square metres, which will be fitted out for handball, basketball, indoor football and volleyball.
“The court can also be divided into three transversal fields, both for basketball and volleyball.
“The ground floor will house a multipurpose hall that can be subdivided into three classrooms by means of movable panels and a gymnasium will also be fitted out specifically for yoga, pilates and other types of classes.
“In addition, the complex will offer 81 parking spaces, with three adapted for people with reduced mobility and five spaces suitable for charging electric vehicles.”

BENALDMADENA enjoyed a special day at the Feria de Día on Monday August 14 with the free tasting of typical dishes.
The main dish of the event was fried eggs with poor man’s potatoes, huevos fritos con papas a lo pobre.
Patatas a lo pobre is a potato dish typical of the cuisine of Granada, Almeria and Murcia, in the southeast of Spain.
Its preparation is that of fried potatoes cut into slices and served in a heap, piled up with fried eggs on the side.
Some recipes add peppers and meat.
Its origin is not much of a mystery, as the phrase ‘a lo pobre’ (poor man’s potatoes) refers to a time of famine. Patatas a lo pobre originated in Andalucia and has since spread to all other parts of Spain, as it has proved to be a very successful dish for any side dish, or even for breakfast.
People who were going through a period of famine resorted to what is called recetas de aprovechamiento so that they could make the most of all the food left in the kitchen and not to waste a single crumb.
