The City Council’s latest initiative is part of the ongoing efforts to develop a sustainable urban model focused on improving quality of life. The goal is to enhance the value of the coastal area and better integrate it into the city center, thus boosting revitalization and the economic and social benefits for the municipality. Estepona Town Hall has begun the process to acquire the land adjacent to the iconic El Cristo beach, aiming to transform it into a public facility that will elevate the area’s appeal by the sea. The municipality is working on expropriating the land, originally sold by the City Council in 1999, to create a new communal space for residents. Future plans include citizen collaboration to design a recreational area with green spaces and parking. This strategy aligns with the city’s vision for a sustainable urban environment that maximizes the coastal strip’s potential and integrates it into the city center, fostering growth and community well-being. The transformation of the seafront land near the port, including the Balcony to the Mediterranean and Mirador del Carmen, has already showcased the positive impact of such projects on Estepona’s urban landscape. Additionally, the completion of pedestrian paths along over 20 kilometers of coastline promotes accessibility and sustainability, enhancing the city’s natural beauty.
