Walking up the slip road from the roundabout beneath the N-340 to Hotel Salambina we noticed that work was going on down on the vega along the Camino Gambullón.

That’s the lane that connects the new medical centre to La Caleta via La Guardia, which is pretty narrow in places.

Turns out that they are widening it, increasing its width from four to six metres, meaning that two cars can pass will room to spare.

Furthermore, there will be a 2.6m wide path for pedestrians, which has always been absent until now meaning that vehicles and pedestrians had to share the same road surface.

There was a time, of course, when parts of this camino were a dirt track and we’re not talking about so long ago, either.

This work has a budget of 266,000 euros, funded by the Provincial Council and will be completed in two stages: the first stage will go as far as La Guardia and the second stage will continue it on to La Caleta.

Of course, this all has to do with the TH1 (hotel plots between El Peñon and La Caleta). Furthermore, the square in La Guardia will also be done up, thanks to funding from the TH1 Compensation Board.
