At its meeting on Monday 16th, the Local Government Board of the Mijas Town Hall approved the renovation of the La Cala football pitch, which includes major works to completely refurbish the complex. The replacement of the turf, the construction of a new building with covered stands, a cafeteria and changing rooms, alongside improvements to the outdoor facilities and car park, are included in a budget of 10,322,218.22 euros.
Following the meeting, the mayoress of the city, Ana Mata (PP), provided details of a project that represents one of the government team's key sporting initiatives. The project, drafted by the company Sisener Cadisa, involves an investment of 1,180,694 euros to completely replace the surface with state-of-the-art turf, and a further 5.2 million euros for the new grandstand and cafeteria building.

"This is a fundamental project for La Cala and the entire municipality in general, as we will provide Mijas with a completely renovated and modern space that will facilitate sports, comfort and safety for users and visitors", said Mata. The Town Hall notes that the last renovation of this space was carried out more than ten years ago.
Turf
Regarding the replacement of the turf, a state-of-the-art surface will be installed to provide greater performance and quality, with high resistance to abrasion and UV rays, optimal recovery capacity and and improved ball bounce and roll. All of this, the Town Hall explains, will impact not only the players' performance but also the overall image of the ground.

In terms of sports equipment, the replacement of the 11-a-side and 7-a-side football goals is planned, the latter featuring wheels to prevent turf abrasion when moved, as well as new substitute and referee benches and corner flags. The renovation of the drainage system is also included.
Actions
The second phase of the project involves the demolition of the current building, which houses the changing rooms, storage and plant room. It will be replaced by a more functional facility housing covered stands, ticket offices, reception and administration areas, a meeting room, changing rooms with showers and lockers, a storage room, accessible public toilets, a cafeteria, and a terrace. It will also include a multi-purpose space for complementary activities, such as a training and weight room.

In this case, the successful bidder will work on an area of more than 4,500 square metres to improve access.
Other infrastructure
The mayoress also pointed out that the Mijas Town Hall is carrying out major projects to restore, remodel and complete important sports infrastructure throughout the municipality. She reported that the works to complete the Regino Hernández Sports Centre in Las Lagunas are about to be awarded to a construction company, with work expected to begin shortly.
This project includes a multi-purpose building (for sports and administrative use), a therapeutic swimming pool in a separate but adjoining building, a children's playground and the necessary access points, as well as facilities, changing rooms and a central square, all with a budget of 5.1 million euros.
