The mayor, Mario Jiménez, and councillor Rogelio Pascual have signed boundary agreements with the families who own the affected land. The section will be 300 metres long and has a budget of €1,258,467.42.
The second phase of the pedestrian path between Manilva and Sabinillas is moving forward in its administrative processing. The Town Hall has announced the signing of boundary agreements with the families who own the plots affected by the route, a preliminary step before the works can be put out to tender.
The mayor, Mario Jiménez, and councillor Rogelio Pascual, accompanied by the municipal secretary, received the landowners to formalise these agreements. According to the Town Hall, once this procedure is complete, the next step will be to proceed with tendering the project.
300 metres with a budget of 1.25 million
The work covers the section between La Bodeguita and the so-called curva de Riscal, with a length of 300 linear metres and an area of 750 square metres.
The planned budget stands at €1,258,467.42, which represents a cost of approximately €1,677.96 per square metre.
This investment had already attracted attention when its figures were compared with those of the first phase. According to data published in March 2023, that project had a budget of €1,101,100 for a length of 1,060 metres and a theoretical area of 3,180 square metres.
The comparison of costs between the two phases shows a considerable difference: the estimated cost per square metre rises from around €346 in the first phase to almost €1,678 in the second, approximately 384.6% more per square metre.
A project that remains to be completed
The pedestrian link between Manilva and Sabinillas began to take shape with the first phase, announced in March 2023. The initial project included several measures to improve communication between the two areas and to offer a safer alternative for travelling on foot and by bicycle.
The signing of the agreements with the landowners represents a further administrative advance, although there are still steps to be completed. The tender will reveal which companies are interested in carrying out the works, the bids submitted and, subsequently, the final award amount.
For the moment, the Town Hall has not specified when work on this second section could begin.
