Recently Regional President Fernando López Miras met with San Pedro del Pinatar Mayor Pedro Javier Sánchez to review this and other projects in the area.
In healthcare, the region is also building a new clinic in Lo Pagán, investing €3 million to expand patient consultations and space. Additionally, 13 new healthcare professionals will join the San Pedro del Pinatar team, including four family doctors, three nurses, a physiotherapist, and a midwife.
Expansion Plans for Local Schools and Institutes
Educationally, the region is planning an expansion of Los Pinos School with six new classrooms and a dining area. A new classroom for two-year-olds at Las Esperanzas School and an expansion of Manuel Tárraga Institute are also on the agenda.
Tourism Thrives with 90 per cent Summer Occupancy Rate
Tourism in San Pedro del Pinatar is performing well, with a 90 per cent occupancy rate during the summer.
