The initiative aims at refurbishing and embellishing the main streets of the tourist village of Caleta de Fuste, to improve safety and optimise the use of those areas, and more resistant materials will be used for the replacement of part of the urban furniture and flooring. As per the demand of businesses, shop owners and hotels, it isn't just about executing a big project, but more about continuous maintenance and cleaning of those areas.
