Good news for those who love golf and enjoying the beaches in Marbella – the Marbella promenade will soon run all the way to Rio Real Golf. The extension of the wooden walkway will join Rio Real Golf to the seafront promenade and become part of the Gran Senda footpath that runs along the entire coastline of Malaga.
Marbella city council has just approved the project and work is due to start in the near future. The walkway will run for 640 metres and join El Pinillo, one of the best beaches in Marbella to Rio Real Golf. The work will include a bridge over Rio Real river.
Walk from Rio Real Golf to Marbella
The new section of the Marbella promenade will be a wooden walkway and include benches and lighting. Once it is completed, visitors to Rio Real Golf & Hotel will be able to walk to Marbella from the golf course along the seafront enjoying the sea views.
The Rio Real extension of the Marbella promenade comes with a cost of almost €1 million. The council has yet to fix a date for its construction, but the new walkway will probably be ready around the middle of next year – perfect if you’re planning a summer holiday in Marbella.
