The president of the port authority also added that the improvement works of the fisherman's wharf as well as the sea wall upgrade and paving of the wharf will begin on the same dates. Two projects with a tender budget of €457,154 and €137,187, respectively.
Meanwhile, Gual announced that November 2018 will see the start of the second stage of the port's beautification plan, which includes works on the promenade.
The President of Formentera Island Council expressed his satisfaction that works on the port will begin in November and will be ready in time for the next season, as requested by the Council. Jaume Ferrer also thanked the APB for reaching an agreement with the Council with regard to the works to be carried out at the port, "in turn supporting the vision that both the institution and locals have of La Savina as well as our own island model".
