A ‘shore’ hit

Betty Henderson RINCON DE LA VICTORIA unveiled an incredible new addition to the town’s Senda litoral, a stunning coastal path that connects towns along the Axarquia coast, on Monday, April 3.

Thanks to nearly €380,000 in funding from the local government, visitors can now explore the brand­new 165­metre section between Los Rubios beach and the Santillán stream with ease. The new path is complete with a sleek new bridge linking to the neighbouring town of Velez­Malaga.

At an opening ceremony, the mayor of Rincon de la Victoria, Francisco Salado pointed out the significance of the new development for the town, stating that “this project serves to preserve our coastline, opening up an area for the enjoyment of neighbours and visitors.”
