The tasks are primarily focused on El Grao beach, where heavy machinery has been used to collect gravel accumulated by recent storms. This material, along with other debris from Malvarrosa beach, will be screened and stored to clear the fine sand characteristic of Burriana's coastline.
Subsequently, the Coastal Service will transfer these sediments to Santa Bárbara beach and other municipalities in the province. Once the terrain leveling is complete, municipal services have begun installing access walkways and new volleyball nets to promote outdoor sports.
In total, 16 walkways will be deployed on El Arenal, Malvarrosa, and El Grao beaches, totaling over one and a half kilometers in length. Of these, 320 meters are adapted with three specific accesses for people with reduced mobility, aiming to improve mobility and facilitate universal access to the bathing area.
“"With the removal of these 5,000 tons of gravel and the constant adaptation of the environment, we redouble our efforts so that residents and tourists find a well-maintained and perfect coastline."
These actions are part of a comprehensive coastal preparation plan initiated before Easter, which has included clearing vegetation on the promenade, cleaning the meadows of El Arenal, and sand screening to mitigate the effects of storms. Additionally, urban furniture, waste bins, and access walkways are being reviewed and placed in the El Arenal, Malvarrosa, and El Grao areas.
The City Council has also increased the budget for the lifeguard and rescue contract by 20,000 euros. This reinforcement will allow for an earlier general surveillance schedule in summer, which will now be from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM, offering more coverage to bathers and families.
