PLAZA DEL SOL PEDESTRIANISED After two years of delays, may worries about parking and the effect to both residents and tourists of the recent pedestrianisation of Plaza Costa del Sol, we can start to see the plan coming to realisation. Torremolinos town hall has invested €2.5 million so that the renovation of the centre, incorporating 10,000 square metres, provides not only a great place to hold events and live entertainment as they did in 2018, but also to join the popular areas of the town centre.
Since work began at the start of 2018, there has been much local debate about the disruption and risk of negative effects that losing
such a main thoroughfare might cause, but as is often the case, things are turning out just fine. We enjoyed the fantastic musical events, street markets and events held by the local council last year and look forward to many more in coming months, although we have no details as yet. Even McDonalds, with its entrance totally covered by road works and with limited access, does not seem to have suffered too much loss of trade and will benefit greatly when the work is completed as this area will be very much more included withing the retail, dining and vacation experience enjoyed nearby. Although a delay in the progress of the pedestrianisation has postponed the official inauguration until this month, most of the new boulevard and central plaza was opened in time for the switching on of the Christmas lights. The decision to open access to the new boulevard was taken in order to prevent more
harm to the businesses in the area, many of which have been affected by twelve months of disruption caused by the work. The whole of the Avenida Palma de Mallorca and almost all of the Plaza Costa del Sol has been finished and fitted with a central water feature, benches, a stage for cultural performances and a large pergola, which has been named Pergola Torremolinos. Finishing touches are taking place now to make ready for the official opening celebration.. One of the last steps in the project is the burying of a time capsule, which is being placed under the Plaza Costa del Sol. A plaque recording the date of the event will be installed to mark the spot. The town hall has invited residents to submit items to be sealed in the capsule as evidence that might be of interest to future generations, including photographs and artwork, historical data and maps, newspaper articles, or written about Torremolinos.
