A major clean-up of the waters around the Costa del Sol has been announced, which may be good news for those seeking Costa del Sol property.

Luciano Alonso, the regional councillor for tourism in Andalucia, has revealed that 25 boats will be involved in a three-year project that will concentrate on dispersing pollution such as surface foam, Typically Spanish reports.

The project will cost €5.8 million (£5.26 million) and will see the west of the region being allocated 12 boats, with Axarquia using 11 vessels and Malaga the other four.

Such work could be good news for those buying Costa del Sol property, as it will make their own use of the coastal waters more pleasant and may boost the prospects for tourist rental.

Those having golf holidays on the Costa del Sol can enjoy a wide range of activities away from the course, travelgolf.com has noted.

It listed trips to the historic city of Ronda with its Roman Puente Nuevo bridge, Marbella’s old town and the Pablo Picasso Museum in Malaga among the other highlights of the region.
