The Malecon promenade was built as a great wall to defend the avenues of Murcia Segura and Guadalentín, but soon became the best place for walking, is today one of the most emblematic monuments and identity of Murcia.
It is therefore everyone's responsibility to protect, care for and preserve it.
In addition to its value as an architectural element, we can say that its beauty and soul is offered by the surrounding landscape.
The walk route acts as a lookout where the urban is transformed into natural, acting "as the umbilical cord linking the city with the garden."
We can ensure that your garden without the Malecon promenade dies, and that is what we have been appreciating over the past decades to see how slowly the landscape has been transformed beyond recognition and degrading and painful in some places.
For this not to happen, the city of Murcia was required in 2007 to draft a Special Protection Plan Paisjística and Monumental, but has not been until now when this plan is watching garacias light at the insistence of social groups and groups politicians.
After many years of waiting, it is clear that this plan can not be born of imposition, but a participatory work where citizens have much to say about the recovery of the Malecon and where should prevail clear support for the huertanos and huertanas of the Arboleja whose work has maintained the agricultural environment.
It is for this reason that the Huerta Living Association and the Municipal Council of La Arboleja have organized on 16 and 22 March a conference where all citizens who want to participate and get involved in the recovery of our heritage, drawing from the work set a proposal to ensure the survival of the Malecon promenade so we can enjoy now and in the future.
On the 16th three working groups they were organized by themes (1. Economy and governance, 2. Society and Culture, 3. Environment) where participants contributed on a plane their perception of the environment of the Malecón, the negative and positive aspects .
a series of questions which arose ideas that are now intended to be reflected in a proposal that enriches by the City Council also worked.
Tomorrow Tuesday 22 at 18 h.
A draft proposal to be discussed and agreed, so that it can be presented to City Council for the final drafting of the Special Plan will be discussed.
