The project, valued at approximately €3.93 million, marks the last major intervention remaining in the port’s fill area and is expected to be completed by summer 2026.

Federico Alarcón, councilor and secretary of the government board, explained that the work includes:
- Finishing the access road from Hombre del Mar to the Dique de Levante and the connecting walkway to the new leisure center.
- Incorporation of urban furniture, lighting systems, landscaping, and ornamental elements to create a unified and attractive appearance throughout the area.
- Continuation of improvements alongside previously approved projects such as primary and secondary electrification of the port, pier edge reinforcements, the cantilever walkway, and others.
The works are set to last about eight months, with an emphasis on bidders that can reduce the execution time, aiming for a completion date by early summer 2026.
Upcoming Licensing for Hippie Booths
One pending matter involves the installation and supply of the traditional “hippie booths,” which are currently temporarily located on Avenida de la Estación. The tender for this installation is expected to be published soon,completing the overall urbanization efforts in the port area.
City Extends Contract for Kings’ Cavalcade Services

Update on Public Housing Development in La Hoya
The council also announced the exclusion of Aedas homes OPCO from the bidding process for public housing in the La Hoya sector, specifically for parcel P-27 where 195 homes are planned.The exclusion was due to the company’s failure to provide the final guarantee required.
