Work to the coastal path which will eventually connect the 82.3 kilometres of coastline that separate La Herradura from La Rábita on Granada province' ... s Costa Tropical is finally under way after months of delays due to the storms that battered southern Andalucía in autumn and winter 2025/26.

In November 2025 the provincial authority, the Diputación de Granada, took the step of laying the foundation stone for section one of the coastal path, to be carried out in Cantarriján. However, the severe storms that battered the Granada coastline during those months caused delays to the works and left the ground in such a condition that part of the project had to be modified.

Following changes to the budget and the timeframe for completion, work has finally started, seven months later. The first section of the provincial promenade will run along the 24-kilometre stretch of coastline from Almuñécar to the border with Salobreña. It will involve the improvement and enhancement of several rest areas from which to enjoy the scenery, such as the viewpoints at Peñón del Lobo, Cerro Gordo, Punta de la Mona and Torre del Diablo.
