The Mijas Town Hall, through the Department for Public Roads, is proceeding with the installation of canopies in more than thirty spaces distributed among the three urban areas of the municipality and the sunshades, due to their characteristics, withstand the high temperatures of the municipality that make the provision of such elements necessary.
The installation of the equipment is being carried out after the awarding of a public contract which will be in force until 2027 and whose value amounts to 862,864.18 euros. The agreement includes the rental, installation, dismantling and maintenance of the canopies in different streets, parks and squares to make these spaces more comfortable in the high temperatures. At the same time, the measure is intended to boost pedestrian traffic in these areas, favouring the use of these spaces.
"We understand that this is a measure to make Mijas a more comfortable town. In addition, we are going to install canopies in commercial and leisure areas so that the heat is not an impediment to enjoy them", explained the councillor for Public Roads, Mari Francis Alarcón (PP).

As the councillor indicated, the canopies will be maintained until autumn.
