  "account": "Estepona is set to introduce a new sports complex in 2027, offering warm water swimming all year round and ample opportunities for physical activity. The town hall has signed a contract to build and operate the facility in the Camino de las Mesas area, between Calle Pases Bajos, Calle Francia, and Avenida Puerta del Mar. The complex will feature a heated indoor pool with tiered seating, 17 padel courts, two tennis courts, and two petanca pitches. Additional amenities include changing rooms, toilets, offices, and parking for 80 vehicles. In a bid to reduce environmental impact, solar panels or a comparable renewable energy system will cover at least half of the site's electricity requirements. Garden areas will be planted with drought-resistant species requiring minimal upkeep. Residents registered on the town's padron will enjoy a 20% discount on facility usage. Local swimming club members will also have the opportunity to train in the new pool. Two new free padel courts have recently been opened in Nueva Atalaya, augmenting the existing facilities. These projects align with the council's objective of introducing sports options to outlying neighborhoods and expanding free access. For further details on the new facilities, visit the Estepona Town Hall website.",
