Fuengirola City Council has completed the Green Transition actions of its Tourism Sustainability Plan, with a 99.24% execution rate and €2.48 million of European funds already invested.
Fuengirola City Council has finished the actions of the first phase of its Tourism Sustainability Plan, focused on Green and Sustainable Transition. The Councillor for Innovation, Isabel González, presented a report on Wednesday detailing that this phase has involved an investment of over €418,000 and an execution rate of 99.9%.
Overall, the plan, titled ‘Fuengirola + Tourism. For a more sustainable and intelligent destination’, has an execution rate of 99.24%, with €2,479,678.28 executed from the granted subsidy. The programme has a total budget of €2,498,580, distributed over three years and fully financed by European Funds under the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan.
Among the measures already in operation, the City Council has created four new shaded areas at taxi stops using photocatalytic technology, aimed at improving air quality and reducing the effects of high temperatures. The structures have been installed at two points on the Promenade, on Héroes de Baler street and on Carvajal avenue.
“We are talking about very specific actions that citizens can see and use,” said the councillor, who highlighted that these investments allow for the application of innovation and technology to improve public spaces and the efficiency of municipal services.
The plan has also included the installation of intelligent irrigation systems powered by solar energy, which monitor consumption and optimise water use. These devices have been placed in the square of Hispanidad, Ramón y Cajal avenue, around the Town Hall, the Promenade near Tahití, Parque de la Fantasía, the area around the Mosque, the Miramar roundabout, and Sohail Castle Park.
Another action implemented has been the installation of air purification systems on Alfonso XIII avenue, aimed at improving environmental quality in this public space. Additionally, the City Council has incorporated 27 smart bins equipped with technological systems to optimise waste collection and improve the efficiency of municipal services.
“We use innovation and technology to enhance our public spaces and the quality of life for those who live here and visit us,” stated González, who argued that sustainability must translate into concrete actions: “For us, sustainability is not just a word. It is about acting, investing, and transforming the city.”
The councillor framed these measures within the municipal strategy to advance towards a modern, sustainable, and intelligent tourist destination, and assured that the City Council will continue to leverage European funds for projects with a direct impact on the streets.
