The Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITECO) and the City of Santander have agreed on Thursday to resume the stabilization works of the Magdalena-Dangers beach system, with the construction of the second spike and the maintenance of the first. This was announced by the Vice President of the Government and Minister for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, Sara Aagesen, this afternoon on a visit to these sandy areas, in which she was accompanied by the mayor of the city, Gema Igualada, and the Secretary of State for the Environment, Hugo Morán.

“Our commitment to the city of Santander is to do all these works as quickly as possible, in an agile way, and do everything necessary to preserve the coastline. That is why today I also announce that we are not only acting in these two areas of the Magdalena, but we are going to do a set of actions on the coast of Santander for a value of more than 6 million euros”, explained the Vice-President of the Government.

The stabilization of the second beach of Sardinero is another of the actions planned by the ministry. This winter sand has accumulated in the eroded area, but it is still convenient to undertake these works and thus avoid the degradation of this beach.

In addition, the vice president also announced an agreement on the Rema building on Thursday. The city council has undertaken to apply for the concession to use it under the Costas Act.

Likewise, he thanked the Vice President and the Secretary of State for their “sensitivity towards the city”. “We have to take care of our coastline and we have to take care of the coasts,” he said.
