Benidorm improves the image of the city's most iconic ornamental elements

Benidorm City Council, through the Department of Urban Scene, has launched an action to improve the public appearance of some of the city's most representative and iconic landmarks. With the arrival of Easter, the department headed by Francis Muñoz has begun work to improve the appearance of highly visited spots and locations during this time of year.

The work is primarily based on removing previous layers of paint, applying a primer, and finally applying the final coat of paint. With this in mind, work is being carried out in Plaza del Castell, Plaza de San Jaime, and the western balustrade up to Paseo de Tamarindos. According to the Councilor for Urban Scene, "the painting and improvement of the balustrade's appearance covers approximately 1,400 linear meters."

In addition to these locations, work will also be done in highly visited areas such as Elche Park, Paseo de Colón, and the access points to the beach from Paseo de Poniente, "both on the thirteen staircases and the three existing ramps." Francis Muños visited some of the areas where work is being done this morning and stated that "the work being carried out in the most visited areas, such as Plaza del Castell and Paseo de Tamarindos, will be completed before Maundy Thursday." As for the rest of the work, "we will finish around mid-May because it will have less impact on the traffic of residents and visitors."

The City Council has invested €39,900 in these projects, which includes painting and the materials used. The council member added, "Preliminary repairs are being carried out on some parts of the western balustrade due to small detachments caused by rust on the internal reinforcement." Once these repairs are completed, the painting work begins.
