Marbella town hall has begun the artistic renovation of 19 lifeguard towers in the area, as part of a wider effort to improve the coastline and strengthen Marbella's visual identity.

Each tower will feature an individual design, local councillor, Diego López, explained, “the aim is for these essential infrastructures to integrate harmoniously into Marbella's unique coastal landscape and contribute to a spruce, contemporary image of the area”.

The project, due to be completed before Easter, is based on a broader strategy to create a functional, safe and aesthetic coastline.“The platforms will remain fully operational, while simultaneously creating a more colourful, attractive presence on the beaches,” said López.

The council claims that the scheme reinforces its commitment to management of public services and the improvement of urban spaces.

“This initiative includes the painting of the Moraga boats (boat shaped barbecue) with designs that honour seafaring tradition and local culture while projecting an innovative and high-quality image of the municipality's coastline," said López.
