This makes the promenade not only a place to walk from A to B, but also a place to really stay.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7\">In addition, safety and atmosphere in the evening hours have been improved by the installation of smart LED lighting, an investment of over another ton, which adapts to the needs of the moment.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-8\"><h2 data-path-to-node=\"8\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"accessibility_as_a_priority\"><\/span>Accessibility as a priority<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9\">The official plans of the municipality of <i>l&#8217;Alf\u00e0s del Pi<\/i> placed a strong emphasis on aging and accessibility. Albir traditionally attracts a more mature crowd and the design was adapted to that.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9\">By removing architectural barriers and adding two new, fully adapted <b>restrooms<\/b>, the promenade has now become very comfortable even for people with mobility problems or walking with a stroller.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10\">The result of the renovation is an environment that feels calmer and more orderly. Cars have been pushed into the background, creating more space for walkers and cyclists.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element awb-imageframe-style awb-imageframe-style-below awb-imageframe-style-4\" style=\"--awb-margin-bottom:20px;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--body_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--body_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--body_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--body_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--body_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--body_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--body_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-4 hover-type-none\" style=\"border-radius:10px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"The opening of the renovated promenade in Albir.\" title=\"Opening of revamped Albir promenade\" src=\"https:\/\/www.purecostablanca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Opening-vernieuwde-boulevard-Albir-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-221478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.purecostablanca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Opening-vernieuwde-boulevard-Albir-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.purecostablanca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Opening-vernieuwde-boulevard-Albir-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.purecostablanca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Opening-vernieuwde-boulevard-Albir-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.purecostablanca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Opening-vernieuwde-boulevard-Albir-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.purecostablanca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Opening-vernieuwde-boulevard-Albir.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/span><div class=\"awb-imageframe-caption-container\"><div class=\"awb-imageframe-caption\"><div class=\"awb-imageframe-caption-title\">Image: the opening of the renovated promenade in Albir.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-9\"><h2 data-path-to-node=\"12\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"waterfront_gastronomy\"><\/span>Waterfront gastronomy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13\">With the parking lots and through traffic on the first line largely gone, the <b>experience on the terraces<\/b> has improved.
