Marbella town hall continues with the second and final phase of construction at Las Chapas municipal swimming pool, focusing on enclosing and covering the facility.

Mayor Ángeles Muñoz visited the site together with the district's general manager, Carlos Alcalá, stating that the six-month project is now nearing completion. The work includes the installation of a large roof over the existing pool.

"It's a heated swimming pool, measuring 25 by 12.5 metres, designed for everyday use by both adults and children, as well as for therapeutic activities," explained the mayor. The project also includes the installation of 130 photovoltaic panels and three 12,000-litre-apiece water tanks, along with new lighting and an expanded pump room.

"The goal is for the facility to operate according to energy efficiency criteria and be adaptable to different conditions of use," stated Muñoz.
