The Arenal-Bol Beach Promenade maintenance and renovation project has been advertised by the Calpe City Council. The tender has a fixed price of €155,340 and a six-week completion period.

The objective of these projects is to enhance pedestrian traffic and rectify specific paving deficiencies. Maintenance work on the paving of the Arenal-Bol Beach Promenade has been restricted to Plaza Colón and the intersection of the Paseo Marítimo and Calle Alemania, Calle Dinamarca, Calle Gran Bretaña, Calle Irlanda, and Calle Luxemburgo. Therefore, numerous regions currently require pavement enhancements.

The marine environment, heavy rainfall, and the action of the waves have compromised the Promenade’s perimeter wall. This is particularly evident in the final section, where there is no sandy shoreline and the waves directly impact the masonry wall, thereby eroding its structure. The wall’s top is damaged in some areas, so it is suggested that it be fixed to match the promenade’s other walls.

The pavement will be demolished and reconstructed in sections to minimise the disruption to the normal movement of users along the promenade during the construction process. Additionally, portions of pavement that are in a state of disrepair will be demolished, cleared, and cleansed.

Ana Sala, the Mayor, acknowledged that “we are cognisant of the age of our seafront promenades and are currently engaged in the project to renovate the Paseo de la Fossa.” Consequently, in the interim and prior to the comprehensive remodelling of the Paseo del Arenal, we have contemplated the replacement of the deteriorated pavement and a portion of the wall, which is experiencing typical deterioration over time. These promenades, which are now a municipal icon, are over 50 years old. We persist in our efforts to enhance the public perception of our municipality. We will commence the project’s execution immediately upon the release of the tender while concurrently continuing to work on the comprehensive remodelling of the Paseo de la Fossa.
