The municipalities of Marbella and Antequera will close their parks this Wednesday due to the risk of strong winds and rain associated with a subtropical storm.
According to Diario Sur, the Marbella City Council will proceed with the preventive closure of the parks of Nagüeles, Vigil de Quiñones and La Constitución, in the capital of the municipality, and Los Tres Jardines, in San Pedro Alcántara. This measure responds to the orange alerts for rain and yellow alerts for wind activated for this Wednesday in the province.
The councillor in charge, Diego López, explained that the closure aims to protect residents from adverse conditions, which may particularly affect wooded areas and green spaces. The parks will reopen when the weather situation allows.
“The measure is adopted with the aim of ensuring the safety of citizens in the face of adverse conditions, which could especially affect the wooded areas and green spaces of the municipality”
From the Marbella council, residents are urged to take extra precautions, follow the instructions of emergency services and 112 Andalucía, and consult only official sources. Among the advice are to avoid unnecessary travel, remove or secure objects from balconies and terraces, close doors and windows, and stay away from trees, cornices, and walls.
In Antequera, the City Council will restrict access to parks throughout the municipality from midnight. At the moment, it has not specified whether the closure will include the area around Torcal, municipal sports facilities, or cemeteries. Both councils will monitor the weather evolution and the indications from technical and emergency services.
