Malaga’s spectacular El Caminito del Rey gorge walk adds 110-metre-long suspension footbridge, the longest of its kind in Spain

Malaga province’s spectacular El Caminito del Rey gorge walk has a new landmark: a 110-metre-long suspension footbridge, the longest of its kind in Spain, which is now open to the public. This structure, installed just before the area above the railway bridge and the El Chorro tunnel, creates an alternative route for the final section of the Caminito, making the experience even more spectacular and enhancing visitor safety. It has cost 1.5 million euros and has been covered with own funds generated by the Caminito that must be applied to improvements, as established by the concession fee – currently managed by the UTE Sando, Salzillo Servicios Integrales and Mundo Management. The president of the Diputacíon de Málaga provincial authority, Francisco Salado, and the president of the Junta de Andalucía regional government, Juanma Moreno, inaugurated the footbridge during an event also attended by the mayors of Álora, Antequera and Ardales, Francisco Martínez, Manuel Barón and Juan Alberto Naranjo, respectively, and the mayor of Valle de Abdalajís, Virginia Romero. Salado recalled that ‘the spirit of El Caminito’ made it possible for different administrations of different political persuasions to join forces for the recovery of this enclave. “What seemed like an impossible project,” […]

Diputación invests 3.1m euros to resolve movement of road linking Ronda and villages in the Guadiaro valley

The Diputación de Málaga provincial authority is carrying out a major stabilisation and refurbishment project on the nearly nine-kilometre-long MA-7401 road, which connects Ronda with Benaoján and also provides access to other municipalities in the Guadiaro valley, such as Montejaque, Jimera de Líbar and Cortes de la Frontera. The works, awarded for 3.1 million euros to the joint venture Albaida Infraestructuras, SA, Talleres y Grúas González SL, and Tecnoasfalto Levante SL, focus on resolving serious problems of landslides and road surface deformation and will continue until the beginning of next year. The president of the authority, Francisco Salado, has visited the works along with the mayors of Benaoján and Montejaque and pointed out that this is the largest economic undertaking carried out on a provincial road in recent years. “It is a road,” he added, “that runs through the municipalities of Ronda and Benaoján and has suffered from continuous landslides, so various improvement works were carried out, although they only partially resolved the problems. Therefore, the road repair was highly demanded throughout the region, and our commitment to the residents of Benaoján, Montejaque, and Ronda was to undertake a permanent solution.” Salado stressed that this project demonstrates the Diputación commitment […]

Provincial authority and Bishopric launch Málaga Sacra plan with restoration of church in Benaoján

The Diputación de Málaga and the Diocese of Malaga have signed an agreement for the conservation and rehabilitation of churches, parishes, hermitages and temples of historical and heritage character in the province, the Málaga Sacra plan, which is has a budget of eight million euros. The president of the Malaga provincial authority Francisco Salado, and the bishop of Malaga, Monsignor José Antonio Satué, have sealed the agreement to launch this plan, which will begin with actions in the church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, in Daimalos, a district of Arenas; and in the church of Our Lady of the Rosary, in Benaoján. Salado stressed that the agreement stems from the Diputación de Málaga’s conviction that religious heritage is not only an important cultural and tourist attraction for the municipalities, but is much more than that. He emphasised its importance because many of the churches declared as Cultural Heritage Sites or included in heritage protection catalogues are in a state of advanced disrepair. In fact, the mayors of the province had frequently requested a plan of this kind. “In villages,” he added, “churches and chapels are the main historical, cultural, social, and even symbolic landmarks, and the social life […]
