Mijas sets out a 33 million euro plan to transform roads, parking and public space.

Big positive change is coming for Mijas, as the Town Hall approved a package of investments totalling more than 33 million euros at its April plenary session on Friday, April 24, with votes in favour from the governing team.

The funds, activated through a budget amendment, will be directed towards road infrastructure, sports facilities, public equipment, cleaning services, and water supply works. The package also includes the drafting of projects for street remodelling and pedestrianisation across the municipality.

A large portion of the investment is set aside for parking improvement

A significant portion of the investment is dedicated to Mijas’ municipal parking plan. The new car park in Mijas Pueblo will move forward with a budget of 6.5 million euros, covering both the project design and the tendering of construction works. The Los Santos car park, already under development, is set to open in the near future. Additional parking projects earmarked for project design and works tendering include Parque Andalucia, with a budget of 250,000 euros, and sites at Las Cañadas, La Candelaria, and El Juncal.

Other projects included in the amendment are the installation of new underground waste containers across the municipality, the renovation of the popular La Butibamba park, and the completion of the remaining sections of the Senda Litoral coastal path connecting to Fuengirola.

Roads and sports facilities are among the improvements included

Road improvements form another key part of the package. The council has allocated funding for the widening of the Camino de Coin between the Victims of Terrorism roundabout and the Camino de Campanales junction. The bridges providing access to the Gran Parque have received a budget of 800,000 euros. 2.5 million euros has been set aside for resurfacing the road network throughout Mijas. 

Great news for sports also with works at the Las Lagunas sports complex also included, with funding set aside for the design of a project covering the replacement of the grass pitch, as well as new storage and changing room facilities at the annexe football ground.
