Cartagena completes long-awaited repairs to El Portús seafront promenade
Work on the damaged seafront has been completed just as the Cartagena summer season gets fully underway
The repair work on the El Portús seafront promenade in Cartagena has now been completed, bringing to an end more than a year of damage that had left residents pushing for a permanent fix.
The infrastructure, which had been seriously affected by the waves since the storms of March 2024, had become one of the community's most urgent and long standing demands.
Councillor for the Coast Álvaro Valdés visited the site to see the finished platform for himself, accompanied by Luis Saura, president of the El Portús Residents' Association, to whom he reaffirmed the council's commitment to the area.
Mr Saura said he was delighted to finally see the work finished, describing it as something residents had been asking for over a long period of time.
The council was keen to stress that the project was carried out using municipal funds and described it as emergency work taken on after what it called prolonged inaction from the Coastal Demarcation, which falls under the Ministry for Ecological Transition and which the council says has repeatedly avoided its responsibilities along this stretch of the Cartagena coastline.
Construction firm Jumabeda carried out the works, with the pace stepped up to keep disruption to a minimum given that the project was running well into the summer season. Mr Valdés, who inherited responsibility for the Coastal Authority after Vox's exit from the local government, said the team had needed to work hard and stay on top of the project throughout, given what he described as a lack of action from the Ministry and the Coastal Authority on their own responsibilities.
With the new access platform now in place, road and pedestrian safety has been restored to this section of the coast, giving both residents and visitors to El Portús safer access to the area.
The council added that it will keep pressing the Ministry to take responsibility for this stretch of coastline, while continuing to roll out improvement plans across Cartagena's coastal neighbourhoods and districts.
