The new promenade and chiringuitos are compatible • Mayor Rosa María Cano defends the project and states that she has met several of the owners to clarify their concerns about the expropriations The planned work for the construction of the new phase of Mojácar’s promenade has infuriated the opposition and, the owners of the chiringuitos that have been operating in the area for decades. Some of them recently met Mayor Rosa María Cano in order to have the details of the project explained, along with the measures adopted for the expropriations that the execution of the work will involve. With regard to this project, Cano has stated that "it is an important development that will bring benefits to the Town.”

Moreover, she said that the extension to the promenade "is not incompatible with the chiringuitos, which are part of our culture and are an additional service on our beaches.” She also said “I want to clarify that at no time will the walkway block access to these establishments, which will remain level with, or just above the wall."

These statements were put forward to the chiringuito owners that met with the mayor in a meeting that the council stated, had served "to resolve many concerns" and reassure those that fear being adversely affected by the construction of the new stretch of the promenade. Mojácar’s mayor, Rosa María Cano, has also stated that she cannot comprehend the criticisms that have been raised on the approval of this new section of the promenade, since it is a project that has been planned since 1986. With regard to the criticism from the opposition, who have been totally against the presented plan, she has reminded them that the project was on public display last year and at no time were they concerned enough to find out more about it or raise any objection. Neither was there any opposition to the first Paseo Marítimo project approved in 1986, or subsequent plans, in the years 1991 and 2002. She pointed out that it was a building plan that was well known about, of which she stated, "is a necessary and beneficial project for Mojaqueros as well as visitors that many people in the Town support." She also explained that the Council will need to carry out an expropriation of about eight metres, clarifying that "six correspond to the ‘public rights of way’ that to date have been used by the bars for the private storage of their chairs and tables.” The project for the new phase of the Paseo Marítimo and the corresponding expropriations are currently in a phase of accusations, following its approval in the Council plenary session held recently.
