Benalmadena transformation moves into next phase

“We’re making extremely good progress with our urban regeneration and revitalisation programme,” says Mayor of Benalmádena, Enrique Moya. “We’re continuing in our efforts to enhance the social, economic and commercial dynamics of Arroyo de la Miel and beyond.


After months of works, and several delays, the fruits of the Town Hall’s labour are beginning to show with the opening of a shopping centre; the completion of the re-modelling of the town’s main streets, including Avenida de la Constitución and Avenida García Lorca; and the revival of the Pueblosol project, which includes an 825-vehicle underground car park and a tree-lined boulevard.


Whilst some projects have already been finalised, others are about to begin in order to complete the programme. The next phase of works, which will be carried out within the coming months, includes the remodelling of an additional stretch of Avenida de la Constitución, from Avenida García Lorca to Avenida Bonanza; the creation of the Antonio Andrade landscaped walkway; the smartening-up of Aveinda Medina Azahara; and the second phase of the improvements to Calles Las Flores. However; the latter two are yet to receive final funding approval.

“Strolling around Arroyo de la Miel is now much more pleasant than it used to be. They seemed to have made a big effort with the landscaping and flowerbeds, the resurfacing of pavements and roads, the ramps for wheelchairs and pushchairs. It has really boosted the look and feel of the town,” says resident, Jean Stafford. “All the road works and disruption, dust and noise, now seem worthwhile.”
