With a budget of 1.9 million, Las Caletillas will open a renovated coastal promenade this summer, if the announcement by the president of the Cabildo, Pedro Martín, is fulfilled, after a visit to the works carried out by the insular and municipal corporations. This is a work that will contribute to energize and revitalize a key location in the maritime leisure offer of the Southeast region.
Pedro Martín highlighted that this intervention, among the 43 actions carried out by the Cabildo along the island’s coast, is special because “it tries to open up the sea to the population so that they can enjoy free spaces, garden areas, viewpoints and access to the beaches.
The mayoress of Candelaria, Mari Brito, recalled that “we have been working intensely for years, together with the supra-municipal administrations and with the El Pueblito Neighborhood Association, for this project to materialize and today it is already a reality.” The councilor defended that “it will improve not only the lives of the people who live here, but the experience of all those who visit us.”
Brito explained that “we are just a few months away from completing this action” with which “an emblematic part of our coastline will be restored, gradually recovering the splendor and those public spaces that are so useful and necessary for our neighbors.”
The global project, whose financing comes from the Department of Tourism of the Government of the Canary Islandsconsists of improving and conditioning the streets adjacent to Paseo Graciliano Ruiz Rodríguez and Via Semidán, the pedestrianization or restricted access of part of these locations, as well as the relocation of the car parks.
Likewise, Acaymo, Agarfa, Amiche and Garoé streets are adapted to the accessibility regulations; in addition to repaving the entire area of action, planting new vegetation adapted to the place, replacing the supply, sanitation and irrigation network and installing new public lighting.
