It will enable you to get from Manilva to Nerja, walk or bike through 180 miles of shoreline.
This was announced by President Elias Bendodo, after a meeting with officials of Urban Development and technicians of the General Directorate of Coasts and the Junta de Andalucía to analyze the development of actions councils involved.
This connection is already underway in many of its sections -with 400 in total. Specifically, they are working on over 17 miles: 3.9 miles in Estepona, 700 meters in Marbella, Mijas 6 mile, 1.6 in Fuengirola, 900 meters in Rincon de la Victoria and 3.4 kilometers in Velez. Within 15 days should start work on a stretch of Torrequebrada (Benalmadena) of a mile.

Accesses to the Coastal Path will be located in the Balcon de Europa in Nerja, "which gives the project a clear tourism identity," according Bendodo; and the port of La Duquesa Manilva. The Council developed this project for several months "and has had a good reception and unanimous across the province," he concluded.
75% of the coastline is already walkable
Bendodo reported that 75% of the Malaga coastline is already passable, through existing infrastructure. Therefore the pending proceedings remaining 25%, about 40 km. It is a long-term project as evidenced by their deadline of five years and not without difficulty, as there are more complicated than others for the unification of the way the coast stretches.
"The Coastal Path is itself a major tourist resort because it can really go from Nerja to Manilva on foot or by bicycle, and this opens up alternative business opportunities for promotion and for our business, hotels, catering business, sports or active tourism, "explained Bendodo.
