Fuengirola launches neighbourhood clean-up plan, starting in Los Boliches on Monday

Fuengirola town hall is starting a district-by-district maintenance drive, the Plan Integral de Mejora en Barrios (comprehensive neighbourhood improvement plan). It begins on Monday 16 November in Los Boliches, according to the Ayuntamiento de Fuengirola, and matters to residents of every district because the teams are due to work through the whole municipality.

Key facts

• Start date: Monday 16 November 2026, in Los Boliches.
• Departments involved: Obras (works), Limpieza (cleaning), Seguridad Ciudadana (public safety) and Movilidad (mobility).
• Duration in Los Boliches: about two and a half weeks, according to Mayor Ana Mula.
• Next stop: El Boquetillo, then the remaining neighbourhoods in turn.

A joint action by four departments

The town hall describes the plan as a joint action to bring up to date the needs of each area. Services for cleaning, public facilities, ornamentation and security in public spaces will work together in each district.

Mula used the colloquial word "desembarcos" (landings) to describe the arrival of the municipal teams in each neighbourhood. The stated aim is a thorough, comprehensive review of every district in Fuengirola.

What the teams will do

The town hall listed a long set of tasks. They include:

• pruning trees and gardens, and replanting trees;
• repainting road markings and replacing vertical signs;
• maintaining roads and pavements, and recovering paving;
• removing graffiti;
• vinyl labelling of the bins at recycling points (islas ecológicas) and painting their platforms, plus cleaning inside them;
• trimming weeds on pavements;
• replacing and repairing bollards and street furniture;
• repainting public spaces;
• deep cleaning with disc machines and heavy water-flushing (baldeos).

The mayor's message

Mula said Fuengirola stands out for the beauty of its public spaces and is valued by residents and visitors for its cleanliness and quality of life. Keeping that reputation, she said, means not lowering the guard and making further efforts.

She also appealed to residents to use public spaces responsibly. In her words: "Los fuengiroleños siempre lo hacen, pero no está de más recordar que este esfuerzo que harán nuestros operarios ha de ser correspondido por nuestros vecinos." In English, she said residents always do so, but it is worth reminding them that the operatives' effort should be matched by neighbours.

What to expect

Residents of Los Boliches should expect crews and works in the streets from 16 November. After the roughly two and a half weeks there, the teams move to El Boquetillo and continue until every neighbourhood has been covered. The town hall's announcement is the source for all details here.
