Calp Town Council will invest €114,829 in the renovation of Arco Iris Park, a project that will include the renewal of the square's paving and the installation of a new children's playground.

The project includes a multi-play structure, new play equipment and safety surfacing, with the aim of providing a safer, more accessible space that meets the needs of local families.

The works will begin in September and are expected to be completed within six weeks.

With this project, Calp Town Council reaffirms its commitment to improving public spaces and modernising children's play areas throughout the municipality.

🔹Construction work on the Puerto Blanco Marina began in September 2023 and included major maritime engineering works, such as dredging the inner harbour basin. These highly complex operations were carried out in dry conditions, requiring the construction of a temporary dam at the harbour entrance to prevent seawater from entering, while dewatering pumps operated 24 hours a day.

🔹The rock breakwater was reinforced with the placement of around 20,000 tonnes of large boulders, as this area had been particularly exposed during storms. In addition, a gate was installed at the harbour entrance to reduce the strong wave action inside the marina basin.

🔹The new marina features a land area with promenades, commercial premises, restaurants and parking facilities. It also includes a water surface of approximately 10,000 m², providing more than 150 berths for jet skis and boats up to 15 metres in length.

🔹The Puerto Blanco beach has also been regenerated, allowing this small stretch of coastline to gain around 700 square metres of additional beach area.

The project was carried out with a total budget of €9,349,042.
