Two new power substations are to be built in Mijas to ensure “guaranteed power” in key areas of development: namely Las Lagunas and the area just north of La Cala.
“There are so many new properties being built around here that the existing power infrastructure just wouldn’t be able to cope,” says La Cala resident, Donald Barrie. “It’s already sometimes intermittent, especially in the summer months, when the higher population puts more demand on the electricity supply. Not only is it the extra tourists in hotels, but also there are many ‘second homes’ here and people tend to use them more in the summer,” he adds.

Businesses in Mijas will have the freedom to open whenever they like over the Easter period and throughout the summer. As a municipality which sees a “great influx of tourists,” the Junta de Andalucía has renewed the agreement which allows work places to remain open during the public holidays in Semana Santa (‘Holy Week’) and from the 1st July to 15th September. The permit will remain in place until 2013 when the Town Hall will need to reapply for this classification. Mijas joins other towns including Benalmádena, Fuengirola and Nerja, who have been awarded the same status. Municipalities whose tourists outnumber the resident population at certain times of the year are eligible for this government-granted concession.

At the International Tourism Fair in Madrid, FITUR, Mijas Town Hall announced plans to create a ‘Jurassic Park.’ The Mayor, Antonio Sánchez, said three sites are being considered for the location for a scientific theme park that will be called ‘Jurapark Mijas,’ adding he hoped it would become a major tourist attraction for the municipality. “It’s an innovative concept that combines family entertainment and research and won’t be the usual type of park,” said Sánchez who went on to explain that it will have the backing of “international experts and first class institutions so that the content and activities are conducted with scientific rigour and at the same time, being very attractive to visitors.” At the presentation, the Mayor confirmed that palaeontologists will collaborate in the project to “recreate as faithfully as possible” the different species of dinosaurs.

A special meeting, called by the party in opposition, the Partido Popular (PP), has been held to discuss the image of Mijas Pueblo for tourists and visitors. The PP requested that the Town Hall pay greater attention to aesthetics in the area as it is a recognised Historical and Artistic Site and must fulfil certain obligations. A spokeswoman for the PP, Antonia Nuñez, said this issue must be monitored “to ensure the interests of residents and businesses of Mijas that live off the charm of the village.” The town Hall responded by naming the streets currently being re-modelled under the ‘Plan Qualificada’ scheme.

Councillors Ana Román and María del Carmen Jiménez visited El Juncal and Doña Ermita parks, which are both entering the final status of their respective improvements and upgrading projects, to members of neighbour associations to hear their views on the works.
The park at Doña Ermita has had its childrens’ games area nearly doubled in size, and as Román explained, “been adapted to cater for those with diabilities.” Work at El Juncal includes improving the green areas and planting of new trees and bushes.
During the visit, residents demanded more police to avoid pet owners leaving their animals’ droppings in the park. The request will be forwarded to the Mayor.
