The San Bartolomé de Tirajana City Council will allocate 5 million euros to transform the Barranco de Maspalomas, creating an accessible corridor with a bike lane and sports areas.

The San Bartolomé de Tirajana City Council will authorize the execution of the project to condition and expand the promenades adjacent to the Barranco de Maspalomas canal. This initiative, promoted by the Consorcio Maspalomas Gran Canaria, aims to turn both banks of the Campo Internacional into a modern, accessible corridor adapted for pedestrian and cycle mobility, always prioritizing pedestrians in coexistence with bicycles and personal mobility vehicles.
The intervention, which updates a project authorized in 2021 and incorporates improvements up to the GC-500, includes the rehabilitation of pedestrian routes, pavement renewal, and the elimination of architectural barriers. It will feature a cycle path, rest areas, biosaludable and calisthenics zones, new urban furniture, and the modernization of the irrigation and public lighting systems. The project will extend from Alejandro del Castillo Avenue to Tony Gallardo Park and the GC-500, connecting key points of the tourist and residential environment.
With a material execution budget of almost 5 million euros (€4,979,018) and a ten-month execution period, the works will take place outside the Hydraulic Public Domain. The first deputy mayor and urban planning councilor, Alejandro Marichal, emphasized that the project is a "decisive step to continue modernizing and improving one of Maspalomas' most emblematic spaces," reinforcing the municipality's tourism competitiveness.
The urban planning councilor, Davinia Ramírez, highlighted the recovery of a fundamental public space with "criteria of universal accessibility, safety, and sustainability," benefiting the daily use by residents, athletes, and visitors. For her part, the tourism councilor, Yilenia Vega, celebrated the improvement as a "direct commitment to the destination's tourism quality," offering a more modern and sustainable image of Maspalomas.
