Estepona town hall this week presented the preliminary project drawn up by Malaga architect Salvador Moreno Peralta for the construction of a new leisure and cultural facility, which will include a shopping and restaurant area, to be built on the former site of the Prasa building on Avenida de España, next to the town's lighthouse.

According to Moreno Peralta's design, a large open pedestrian area will be created, with public squares and parks staggered between the avenue and the current promenade, with the aim of connecting the town with the sea across the slope.

On the roof of the building, which will be at the level of the avenue, a large open pedestrian area will be created, which will have a lookout tower as a reference point.

The building itself will become a multi-purpose space that will allow for different social and cultural uses and may house a space for a library, as well as an exhibition hall, conservatory or training classrooms.

The new facility will be one of the main initiatives to be promoted during the current legislature and forms part of the productive investment plan launched by the council last June, with the drafting of the project and the execution of the work involving a total investment of 14.5 million euros.

The mayor of Estepona, José María García Urbano, explained that this strategic project will expand cultural and leisure services and provide a new tourist landmark for the town.
