La fuente de las Tres Gitanillas ya luce en la Avenida de Andalucía - Málaga, Andalucía, España - News Article Locations on Waymarking.com

The Junta de Andalucía accelerates its bid to free Avenida de Andalucía from the wound that the work of the Málaga Metro has caused it for a decade . And proof of this reinforcement is the state that already on Monday afternoon presents the Tres Gitanillas fountain , one of the best - known facilities in the capital but which has disappeared since April 2010 . It was on those dates when, as a service affected by the suburban advance, its transfer was forced. Until now.

Las Tres Gitanillas shines again in its original location, the Plaza Poeta Manuel Alcántara . It does so with a renewed appearance, despite the passing of the years, after having been the object of conservation and restoration work. At the moment, we will still have to wait a few weeks for the fountain to be completely finished and up and running. The commitment assumed by the Ministry of Development is that this occurs no later than July 17.

Beyond the iconic element of the sculptural ensemble, the installation of the fountain entails a work of enormous magnitude. Its replacement includes the execution of the civil works of the basin where it is installed, as well as all the hydraulic and pumping installations for the water jets and light fixtures. To house the drive facilities, a 40-cubic-meter tank and a 20-square-meter machine room have been built, where all the pumps and electrical panels will be housed. And before all this, the foundation slab 30 centimeters thick on which the monumental sculpture will be installed was executed.

The countdown in which the Board is immersed with the work of the Metro has in the redevelopment of Avenida de Andalucía a first significant milestone. The planned calendar points to the second half of July for the street to recover the state it had a little over a decade ago, before the work on the urban railway began. This date represents an alteration with respect to the initial plans, which pointed to the end of last May. However, the extent of the archaeological work carried out in the section and the impact that COVID -19 has had , with the stoppage of the pit for two weeks, forced Fomento to reschedule the intervention.
