Famous arches that mark entrance to luxury Spanish holiday resort may face demolition.
Press reports from Spain suggest that the famous road arches that markt he entrance to one of the country’s most exclusive holiday resorts may soon face demolition.
The structural safety levels of the iconic Marbella arches have been under intense governmental inspection recently, to ascertain whether they can remain standing. The entrance arches are located at the east and west points of entrance and exit in Marbella and have stood for some 18 years.
Now, during the roadworks at San Pedro Alcántara (western) archway and after the extraordinary rains of this past winter, the governmental department in charge of the report as to its safety want the arch demolished for safety reasons.
Tests are now ongoing at the eastern archway to see if that structure is suffering similar problems which could result in demolition.
Should demolition be required, it will be an ironic twist for some UK demolition professionals that own holiday properties in the area and for whom Marbella has been a long-favoured destination to escape the grind, noise and dust of demolition work.
