Manilva–Sabinillas footpath: land agreements signed for second phase

The second phase of a pedestrian path linking Manilva and Sabinillas has taken a formal step forward. According to the Ayuntamiento de Manilva (town hall), boundary agreements have been formalised with the families who own land along the route, clearing the way towards putting the works out to tender.

Key facts

• Length: about 300 linear metres, according to the town hall.
• Route: from the area known as La Bodeguita to the bend known as the curva de Riscal, on the road between Manilva and Sabinillas.
• Budget: 1,258,467.42 euros.
• Latest step: boundary agreements (acuerdos de deslinde) formalised with the landowning families.

The meeting with landowners

Mayor Mario Jiménez, accompanied by councillor Rogelio Pascual and the municipal secretary, met the families who own the land where the new stretch will be built, the town hall said.

At the meeting the acuerdos de deslinde, agreements that set the boundaries of the land concerned, were formalised. The town hall described this as a fundamental step to continue the administrative procedure and open the way to the tender (licitación) for the works.

Jiménez highlighted the importance of this administrative step, which the town hall said will allow the council to keep moving forward with a project of special interest for the municipality.

The route

The second phase covers roughly 300 metres, running from La Bodeguita to the curva de Riscal. The town hall presents it as infrastructure meant to improve the pedestrian connection between the two population centres, Manilva and Sabinillas.

What it means for residents

For people who live in or travel between Manilva and Sabinillas, the project is intended to improve walking links between the two centres. The works have not yet been tendered; the town hall says the signed agreements are the step that allows that process to proceed. Further details would be expected from the Ayuntamiento de Manilva, which published the information on its website.
