Before you think we're being insulting towards Asian female workforces, china gorda means 'large pebbles' and it's the name of a beach between San Cristóbal and Cotobro.
Anyway, the paseo running above the said beach is being repaved and work is going according to the plan, according to the Councillor in charge of Municipal Maintenance, Beatriz González.
A section 230-metres long is being resurfaced with a budget of 110,000 euros. The construction company, Solve won the contract, which was signed in June but put on hold until after the summer.
The councillor took the opportunity to chat with businesses along the Paseo Chinagorda to see how they felt about the work soon to be going on in front of their premises. She survived the encounter.
The existing paving along the paseo is old and deteriorated and public lighting is insufficient. Furthermore, there are small flower gardens sticking out that “reduce accessibilty.”
The 230 metres of paseo that are getting the facelift are between Edificio Al Andalus and the Barranco de la Cruz but they’ll leave the part in front of busineses until last, it appears.
