Last Friday, the Santa Cruz de Tenerife City Council released the tender for the development of the Palmetum coastal promenade project in Cabo Llanos on the State Tender Platform. An investment of 652,541 euros has been earmarked for this initiative, split into three separate lots, each with its own construction guidelines, aimed at converting this urban space into a new recreational area.
The upcoming Palmetum-Los Llanos Linear Park will feature three distinct sections to be constructed: the Palmetum Coastal Promenade Ring (with a drafting timeline of ten months by the awarded company); the Beach-Pier Coastal Promenade (to be completed in eight months); and the Southern Pedestrian Promenade (scheduled for completion within seven months).
Moreover, the municipal dossier overseen by the Infrastructure department under the leadership of Javier Rivero outlines the key aspects to be considered during the project drafting phase. These include the development of hotel and restaurant structures; pedestrian pathways and public squares; as well as seawalls and breakwaters. The objective is a comprehensive overhaul of this urban area near the city’s botanical garden, facilitating its integration with existing landmarks like the Maritime Park, the Auditorium, and the Black Castle.
As per the Infrastructure Department, the prompt launch of this tender is necessitated by the area’s “lack of adequate resources and expert professionals across all necessary disciplines for the drafting, project management, and safety coordination of the Palmetum Coastal Promenade project.” The future construction aims to offer ample open spaces for strolling, engaging in sports activities, or cycling, as a designated bike path is in the plans.
Additionally, the area is set to feature landscaped gardens, shaded retreats, spacious plazas, and a dedicated dining zone equipped with kiosks and terrace restaurants, as detailed in the Tinglados project blueprint put forth by the City Council last year.
Mayor José Manuel Bermúdez previously highlighted that the design of this coastal walkway adjacent to the Palmetum is geared towards “re-establishing the sought-after link between the sea and the city, introducing a fresh leisure option to the cityscape.”
