The Town Hall has already begun  work to replenish sand and regenerate the beaches most affected by the storms that hit between late  December and early February. The machinery is on-site to move and deposit up to 14,000 cubic metres of sand, aiming to have the coastline in perfect condition before the Easter holidays. The work, which has a cost of€247,000 euros and an execution period of 19 days, is focused on the beaches of El Bombo, Calahonda (El Capricho-Alhamar), and Las Doradas, with planned contributions of 8,000, 3,000, and 3,000 cubic metres, respectively.  

 

The mayoress Ana Mata (PP) visited El Bombo on Thursday 11th, where the machines have already been working at full capacity for two days, bringing in and depositing sand. “The significant loss of sand following the recent succession of storms meant we had to act quickly ahead of one of the most important seasons of the year”. “Easter is just around the corner and we found ourselves unable to set up sun loungers, parasols, or water activity areas”, said the president of the Mijas Beach Business Association, Carlos Morales, who stressed that “it is a pity that other administrations are not taking care of this and that it has to be the Town Hall, which has been quick to get to work”.  

 

“The machinery specified in the emergency contract for the beach works consists of three articulated dumper trucks, a 20-tonne excavator, a 9-tonne excavator, two bulldozers and a wheel loader”, reported the councillor for beaches, Daniel Gómez Teruel (PP). “Part of the aggregate is being sourced from the mouth of the La Cala stream and the eastern side of the beach of the same name,” the councillor added.

 

The project

The project is divided into two lots. The first has been awarded to Verosa Proyectos y Servicios S.L. for 145,552.21 euros, and the second to Transportes y Excavaciones Arroyo S.A. for 101,640 euros, bringing the total investment to 247,192.21. euros.
