Exciting news for Corralejo! The much-anticipated renovation of the town's coastal walkway is moving ahead, as a result of the work done by La Oliva City Council, led by Juan José Rodríguez, the Councilor for Finance and Contracting.
On Tuesday, August 27th, the council officially opened the bidding process for the project, with a budget of over 1.7 million euros.
This marks a significant milestone in the plans to revamp this popular area. Funded by the Canary Islands Government through the Tourism Department, the project aims to not only enhance the visual appeal of Corralejo but also create a safe and welcoming environment for both residents and visitors.
The project, which has been eagerly awaited by the local community, focuses on upgrading the seaside path, with special attention to environmental sustainability and accessibility.
Companies interested in securing the contract can now submit their bids to be part of this transformative initiative.
After this phase is completed, the council plans to tackle other unfinished sections in the area, including the start of a new coastal path in El Cotillo. These additional projects are currently awaiting approval from the Canary Islands Government's Directorate General of Coasts.
La Oliva’s Mayor, Isaí Blanco, highlighted the importance of this project for the community: "Finally, we’re moving forward with the construction of the coastal walkway that the residents of Corralejo have been asking for, for so long. It's crucial for us to focus on areas that might have been overlooked in the past, but which are highly demanded by our citizens."
Juan José Rodríguez, the Councilor leading the project, echoed this sentiment, saying, "This tender is a direct response to one of our government group's commitments. It will undoubtedly be a game-changer for Corralejo, transforming not just the aesthetics of the area but also ensuring that the path is safe, accessible, and environmentally friendly."
