Sanxenxo is advancing its strategy for optimising and protecting the municipal coastline following the summer season with two projects initiated by the Department of Tourism and Beaches, headed by Juan Deza. This week, work began on the comprehensive renovation of the pedestrian walkway leading to Montalvo beach, while environmental improvement and channelisation efforts are progressing well in the vicinity of A Carabuxeira beach.
The main access project for Montalvo beach has a budget of €92,000, jointly financed by municipal funds and the Local Action Group of the Fishing Sector (GALP). The technical project has been designed with strict environmental respect in mind. The old infrastructure will be replaced by a new walkway elevated at least 50 centimetres above the ground. This height will ensure the natural dynamics of the dune system, allowing for the free movement of sand and protecting native flora from pedestrian traffic.
The new path will be two metres wide and constructed with high-resistance, durable recycled plastic pilings and decking. The estimated completion time for the works, which will include protective side railings, is eight weeks.
Simultaneously, the works around A Carabuxeira beach are entering a decisive phase. Initiated last October, the focus is on the environmental recovery of the stream that flows into the beach and the renovation of its access square. The main action involves channelising a 22.5-metre section of the stream as it passes through the beach, a measure aimed at preventing winter storms from altering the open water course.
With an investment of €48,730, this project also includes the installation of a raised pedestrian crossing, repaving of the entrance area, sand profiling, and repairs to the masonry wall affected by marine erosion.
