Seaside park by Río Real to be ready before summer 2024

Work continues apace on Marbella's new Parque del Mediterráneo, located by El Pinillo beach, close to Río Real, east of the town centre.

Four sand courts for football, handball and beach volleyball have already been completed.

"It aims to become a meeting point not only for sports people but also for families," said the council's Diego López, who explained that 500 trees are being planted on the 50,000-square-metre site, which will open before summer 2024.

The 2.4m-euro project will also incorporate an auditorium and a car park with 250 spaces.
