The Fuengirola City Council is advancing in the demolition of the old Santa Fe Antonio Basilio stadium, a preliminary step before excavating the future mega car park with 1,070 spaces. The municipal investment amounts to 48.7 million euros.
The demolition of the old Santa Fe Antonio Basilio stadium in Los Boliches has already revealed a good part of the structure. Demolition work began on 1 September and has removed the main entrance portico, the stands, and one of the pavilions, according to the mayor of Fuengirola, Ana Mula, who visited the area along with the councillors for Strategic Infrastructures and Sports, Rocío Arriaga and Julio Rodríguez.
The demolition and debris removal tasks will continue for a few more days. After that, workers will begin the excavation that will lead to the mega car park, with 1,070 spaces spread over three underground levels. The awarded UTE, formed by Vialterra Infraestructuras S. A. and Urbasur Actividades y Servicios S. L., has included among its improvements the delivery of the car park before the rest of the work is completed, so it can open to the public when the underground work is finished.
The project will expand the area of the site from just over 13,000 square meters to 14,500, incorporating part of Francisco Rivera 'Paquirri' street. The complex will include a new football pitch with its orientation rotated 90 degrees, a covered hockey pavilion, another for volleyball, and a multifunctional one, all with stands, changing rooms, and storage rooms, as well as a café, concierge, infirmary, training classroom, and public restrooms. An outdoor recreational swimming pool of 312.5 square meters of water surface will be built on the roof.
The complex will also house the new courts of Fuengirola, with more than 7,000 square meters and an independent entrance from the rest of the building, grouping the judicial services that are currently spread across different locations in the municipality.
The municipal investment in the project and its execution amounts to 48,766,872 euros, the largest in the city's history. The technical planning will be developed in three months, and the construction work will extend over the next 29 months.
"We can already see how there is no trace left of the main entrance portico, the stands, and one of the pavilions. These are complex demolition and debris removal tasks that will continue for a few more days"
The mayor has framed the action in the transformation of the city: "We are talking about a very ambitious project. The largest investment in our history."
