Benalmadena Pueblo's new park revealed

La Finca de Los Limones in Benalmadena Pueblo is set to become one of the municipality’s largest public green spaces under initiatives set out by Town Planning Councillor; Jesus Fortes. The project will cost more than a million euros and according to Fortes, will be “green lung” for the town as well as preserving “important historical features of the village,” including the disused mill. It is also believed the new park will feature an outdoor gym for use by older residents in the area.


“At the moment it looks really run down and just abandoned – very messy, which is a shame as it’s right in the middle of the Pueblo so lots of people see it. It gives the wrong impression to visitors to the village,” says Pauline Nicholson who lives and works near the site. “It has a great location so it’ll be very popular when it’s done up.”
Fortes said that the plans for Finca de Los Limones are part of the project to “improve the lok of the Pueblo”; other works have included the creation of a new square and the re-surfacing of the many streets in the historic centre.

“There aren’t enough green spaces in this part of the town so it’s a great idea,” says local residents Colin Baines. “It’ll add to the appeal of the village.”
