1.2 million for street improvements in Mijas

Seven Mayors signed an agreement with the Junta de Andalucía in the offices of Turismo Andaluz yesterday.
The President of the Junta de Andalucía, Manuel Chaves, met yesterday with the Mayors from seven municipalities of the Western Costa del Sol to seal the deal on the new ‘Qualifica’ plan which will see the investment of nearly 11 million € to improve tourism.

The agreement was signed in the offices of Turismo Andaluz with the Mayors of Torremolinos, Marbella, Fuengirola, Benalmádena, Mijas, Manilva and Casares.

The idea is to better promote the Costa del Sol brand, with the Junta putting up 80% of the 11 million € funding.
Estepona will join the plan once the current problems in the municipality have been solved.

Among the projects included, 1.13 million for the redevelopment of Benalmádena pueblo, 1.85 million for the sports marina in Marbella, 1.61 million for the Paseo Marítimo in Torremolinos and 1.2 million for street improvements in Mijas.

Manuel Chaves described the program as a pioneer in innovation
‘We are a world power, and we have to work to affirm and strengthen this position of privilege’, he said.
