The Fuengirola City Council completes the burying of the Los Pacos overhead line with the dismantling of the cables and turrets
Endesa has begun the tasks of eliminating these infrastructures, which cover just over a kilometer of the neighborhood. The City Council undertook the first phase of this action, with the creation of the new underground pipelines, and now it is the electricity company that must complete these tasks.
11/13/2025 – Fuengirola City Council is completing the burying of the Los Pacos overhead line with the dismantling of the cables and turrets by the electrical company responsible for this action, Endesa. The operators of the aforementioned company have begun this operation, which represents the third and final phase of this intervention, which is a commitment of the municipal government team to the surrounding residents.
“We fulfilled our commitments to the residents of Los Pacos and to the people of Fuengirola. This action is a promise that I assumed with its residents and is close to being a reality. When we began, we warned that it was a delicate intervention and that we did not have 100% control, since it was Endesa that, ultimately, had to eliminate the turrets and overhead wiring. It is true that it has taken much longer than we all expected and desired, but I am happy announce that the time has finally come and the workers are already working on it,” explained the mayor Ana Mula, who visited the area together with the neighborhood councilor, Rosa Ana Bravo, and the Infrastructure councilor, José Sánchez.
Thus, this intervention consists of three phases. The first was the creation of the new underground pipelines through which the new lines would run. Work that was promoted by the City Council and funded with funds from the Provincial Council of Malaga for an amount of nearly 1.5 million euros.
The second, completed during the second quarter of this year 2025, was the introduction of wiring in these new conduits and their testing phase. And the last one, which is precisely the one that has been started recently, the removal of the aerial tower and the turrets that support it, from Sauce Street to the surroundings of Cerezos Street.
This week they began removing the cables. Once they are all removed, the workers will proceed to dismantle the turrets on which they rest.
The burial process has contemplated the creation of a 1,331 meter long underground pipeline for the introduction of the new line. This already runs under the ground of seven streets and avenues in the neighborhood in ditches 1.32 meters deep and 1.20 meters wide. Specifically, along the roads: Los Cerezos, Los Membrillos, Finland and Los Pacos avenues, as well as Chumbera, Esparraguera and Sauce streets.
