On Monday 16th, the councillor for Rural Areas, Eloy Belmonte (Vox), reported on the work being carried out on various rural roads in the municipality, in response to the needs expressed by residents and the issues detected by the municipal department itself. Belmonte explained that “the Rural Areas Department is working continuously on the roads that show the most deterioration, prioritising sections that directly affect the safety and accessibility of residents”.
In the La Alquería area, work has focused exclusively on the removal of landslides from the road, with the aim of ensuring safety and restoring normal traffic flow. “We have acted quickly to clear the affected sections and avoid unnecessary risks to residents who travel along these roads daily”, he said.
Work is also being carried out on the Gamonal road up to its junction with La Cala Golf, repairing the road surface at both the entrance and exit of the road. The councillor stressed that “this is a strategic point for many residents and workers in the rural area, so it was necessary to take action to improve access and prevent further deterioration”.

Work also continues on the main road in Puerto de los Gatos, where repairs to the road surface that began several weeks ago are being completed. “Our aim is not to limit our actions to one-off interventions, but to provide continuity to the work until these sections are in optimal condition”, he stated.
Drainage ditches
Finally, the department is carrying out repairs to ditches and crossings in the Atalaya area, a fundamental action to improve water drainage and prevent future damage to the road surface. “The maintenance of ditches and crossings is key to preventing rainfall from damaging the roads again. It is not just a matter of patching up, but of acting with proper planning”, Belmonte pointed out.
The councillor concluded by reiterating the government team’s commitment to the rural environment: “We continue to listen to residents and plan interventions based on the real priorities of the territory. Rural areas are an essential part of Mijas and must have roads in decent and safe condition”.
