Long-awaited health centre in Nerja prepares to open doors before end of 2026
Locals in eastern Costa del Sol are finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel after more than twenty […]
Residents of Nerja and nearby Frigiliana are finally set to benefit from a much-anticipated new health centre, after over twenty years of waiting. Construction on the €9.4 million facility, which is being built between Avenida de Pescia and Cuesta del Ingenio near the Chillar River, is nearing completion with an expected phased opening before the end of 2026.
The three-storey building, covering 4,520 square metres in total, will provide more than double the space of the existing medical hub and is designed to accommodate both the local population and seasonal tourists. Inside, patients can expect 26 standard consultation rooms, five multipurpose suites, and five dedicated paediatric spaces, along with specialist units for minor surgery, dentistry, physiotherapy, radiology, and critical care.
The transition of operations from the old facility to the new one will occur gradually to avoid any disruption to patients' appointments. Medical staff, diagnostic equipment, and administrative teams will make the move in stages across late 2026. The current medical building's future ownership is still uncertain, with local council leaders hoping to convert it for municipal use once it changes hands from the Junta de Andalucia.
As construction progresses, nearby infrastructural improvements are also underway. A €27.61 million underground car park with 847 spaces is being developed, along with a new connecting road linked to Avenida de Pescia to alleviate traffic congestion in the town.
