THE Cuevas del Almanzora town council has received a tourism grant aimed at improving the local environment and protecting the beaches.
The grant, worth roughly €80,000, was awarded to the town by the Andalucian Tourism and Sports Department, and is part of the 2014-2020 Andalucia Development Program.
The mayor of the town, Antonio Fernandez, announced that the fund will be used into improve rural and coastal areas to help protect them from climate change and the environmental impact of tourism.
Several improvements will be made to the coast including placing new wooden walkways on the beach, improving signs, creating new walk paths and putting out more litter bins.
