Mijas to make beaches more attractive with series of colourful murals

Produced by local artist Benito Leal, the murals will focus on marine life and the fauna and flora typical of the area.

The artist, who is responsible for the colourful mural at the entrance to the Santana district of Mijas, is executing the designs with an airbrush technique, a style with which he says “the details of the mural can be carried out with greater precision, giving more realism to the final result”.

The councillor for Beaches, José Carlos Martín, explained that the murals would be an added attraction to the Mijas ‘selfie route’.

“The murals on the beaches will enhance the coast and add to the tourist attractions of the municipality. Whenever we travel, we like to photograph ourselves in the most unique places, and in this case, these murals will offer the best snap shots,” Martín said.
