Construction works for the new boulevard in Estepona are advancing according to plan through multiple phases nearing finished in key areas. The underground network channel works stand-alone to 90 per cent, while foundation development has reached 50 per cent. The first-floor slab part of the project has got to 30 per cent completion, with the roof slab construction now underway, advancing this major urban infrastructure project. Local teams are coordinating efforts to minimise impact on surrounding neighbourhoods during all work stages, although complete normality is still far off.

Underground Infrastructure Progress

Underground installations covering electricity, telecommunications, drinking water, irrigation and drain networks are going well according to the council, with 90 per cent completion status.

Opening of pedestrian routes

Pedestrian passage on Avenida San Lorenzo is open already, improving zone connectivity throughout the construction period. Additional access from Juan Carlos I and Avenida España will open in July. Gardening activities have commenced in the surroundings of the Alboran building during recent days.

Boulevard design and future connections

The new boulevard will merge the pedestrian route to the Mediterranean created along the former N-340 road, now one of the country’s best seafront walks, with a renewed historic centre called “Jardin de la Costa del Sol”. This link strengthens overall urban renewal, connecting modern seafront developments directly to traditional town areas.

Parking facilities and mobility improvements

The new underground parking area will accommodate more than 300 vehicles, integrating into the council car park network available at just a €1 daily cost for users. Exterior zones will include distinctive plazas, promenades, water features and parks, adding character to the urban space and acting as social meeting points for residents. Reserved provisions cover taxi stops, loading and unloading areas suited to commercial needs, motorcycle parking, electric vehicle spaces and bicycle storage supporting improved mobility across Estepona.

Vision for town development

The council maintains focus on developing a friendly green urban environment open to the sea through this project. Such actions reinforce Estepona’s transformation into a national example regarding excellence of public areas together with dedication to citizen welfare across all age groups.

Torremolinos installs smart traffic lights on its beaches to warn about UV radiation levels

Published

By

Residents and visitors to Torremolinos can now check real-time ultraviolet radiation levels at a glance, thanks to a new network of smart traffic lights installed across four of the town’s most popular beaches.

How Torremolinos’ smart UV traffic lights work

Each device uses a simple five-colour system based on World Health Organization standards to display live radiation levels, making the information instantly accessible to beachgoers of all ages. Moving beyond a standard traffic light, the sensors cycle through 5 levels, green, yellow, orange, red, and violet signals will indicate the current intensity of UV rays. This clear visual prompt allows people to adjust their sun protection accordingly, whether that means applying higher-factor sunscreen, seeking shade, or limiting their time in direct sunlight during extreme peaks.

Where the smart lights are located

Currently operational at La Carihuela, Bajondillo, Playamar and Los Alamos, the devices cover Torremolinos’ busiest stretches of coastline. These beaches attract hundreds of thousands of visitors each year, making them an ideal location to roll out the new health-focused technology.

A step forward in beach safety and public health

This isn’t just a high-tech novelty, the equipment tackles a genuine local issue on a coastline where year-round sunshine is taken for granted, but awareness of the actual UV risks remains stubbornly low. Putting real-time data directly in front of beachgoers forces a shift from passive sunbathing to active sun safety, moving past generic promenade warnings to encourage smarter daily habits. Funded by the European Union’s Next Generation as part of the town’s Smart Paradise Sustainable Tourism Plan (PRTR), the rollout follows a similar regional push that recently saw 20 UV sensors installed along Benalmadena’s coastline.

Protecting your skin in Spain is now more vital than ever. For more information on the new sensors you can visit the Torreomlinos Town Hall website or social media channels.
