Torre del Mar is one step closer to finally getting its long-awaited theatre. The local council has now chosen the company that will take on the construction, after carefully reviewing three different bids.

Jesús Pérez Atencia, First Deputy Mayor of Velez-Melaga and Torre del Mar, called it an important step for “bringing this major cultural project to life for our town.” The project has faced some delays, first when the original contractor stepped away, and later due to rising construction costs linked to the war in Ukraine.

The new plan has been updated to fit today’s realities, but keeping quality high while staying on budget.

“This theatre is now really moving forward,” the First Deputy Mayor said. He is sure that the new space will be a top-quality venue for culture, not just for Torre del Mar but for the wider Velez-Malaga area. He also made it clear that the council is focused on real progress, not just promises, and is basing decisions on solid reports and careful planning.

Once finished, the theatre will be a hub for culture, community, and the local economy. Work is set to resume soon, bringing Torre del Mar closer to a venue that has been needed for so many years. Residents and tourists can look forward to a new cultural landmark that will benefit the town for generations.
