Las Isla del Sol, a leisure complex that would occupy an area of 100,000 square metres of land reclaimed by the sea, was to be the new star project in Fuengirola. However; a report in the environmental impact of the venture said it would have a negative effect on the beaches in Los Boliches. The project was then immediately removed from the new General Urban Plan which was provisionally approved last week. Despite the exclusion, the Town Hall is reluctant to give up on the project. “We’re not relinquishing La Isla del Sol, despite its withdrawal. We hope that it can become a reality in the future with some amendments,” said councillor Ana Mula.

For many years the Town Hall has been eager to remove the electricity pylons in and around the residential area of Los Pacos. Thanks to a project which sees greater investment for local communities being approved towards the end of the year; this will now become a reality and the pylons are already being dismantled. About a 1,000 metres of cable are now running underground between the nearby school, Valdelecrín, and Pajares stream.
One Los Pacos resident said, “We have been petitioning for a long time to have these removed. Not only do they look really ugly but I believe it is safer to have everything of this nature below ground like they do in other areas. No-one will miss looking at these towers”
