Infrastructure Developments in Puerto Del Carmen
[Posted: 22 April 2009]
Those of us who are regular visitors to Club Las Calas will be aware that the Tias Ayuntamiento (the District Council) has recently begun a major series of public works to upgrade the Avenida Las Playas in Puerto Del Carmen (a.k.a. 'The Strip'). This programme embraces improvements to drainage, changes to vehicular access and the creation of pedestrian areas and traffic-free zones. It also includes the imposition of new standards for the external appearance of shops and businesses, designed to improve the overall ambiance of the area. These developments are in parallel to improvements in the road infrastucture around Puerto Del Carmen, which will see the existing circunvalacion (the ring-road) replaced by a new dual carriageway.
As an introduction to these significant developments, the Ayuntamiento has produced a short video, entitled 'The Way Ahead' (Rumbo al Futuro). The commentary is in Spanish but the excellent photography and graphics are self-explanatory and the video gives a real flavour of the proposed improvements.
The video may be viewed and/or downloaded at the following location:
