Mijas-Fuengirola initiative to improve traffic flow

An agreement signed between Fuengirola and Mijas Town Halls, the Junto de Andalucía and El Corte Inglés, means a notorious traffic hot spot on the A-387 is soon to be resolved.

The project, which will cost five million euros to complete, will include the construction of two additional lanes where La Loma connects with Avenida Clemente Díaz, one of the main arteries into Fuengirola; as well as two further roundabouts, one on each side of A-7 motorway.
