New ecological walkway connects Playa Honda and Villas Caravaning in Cartagena

Sustainable coastal path improves mobility and safety for pedestrians and cyclists

The Mayor of Cartagena, Noelia Arroyo, recently visited the site of the nearly completed ecological walkway connecting Playa Honda and Villas Caravaning. This new promenade, now more than 90% finished, is designed to blend harmoniously with the natural environment while providing a safe and scenic route for pedestrians and cyclists along the Mar Menor coastline.

With an investment of more than €220,000, the 400-metre stretch addresses long-standing issues such as uneven terrain and persistent puddles, which made passage difficult—especially during the busy summer months. Mayor Arroyo highlighted that the project "responds to the real needs of the thousands of people who pass through here throughout the year, but mainly during the summer period."

The completion of the walkway comes after previous setbacks that delayed the project due to technical issues. Now, built using environmentally friendly materials, the route not only improves accessibility but also revitalises a key area with heavy foot traffic. As part of the next phase, 24 lighting columns will be installed to further enhance safety and visibility for residents and visitors.

This initiative is a key part of Cartagena's Strategic Plan for Sustainable Tourism 2022-2025, reinforcing the city’s commitment to eco-friendly infrastructure and improving quality of life. By promoting sustainable development, Cartagena continues to enhance its coastal attractions, making them more accessible and enjoyable for all.
