The beach regeneration project wasn't signed off by the last mayor as the Ayuntamiento weren't happy with the way it was done. I'm sure that it'll be a long time before anything happens or if it even it does!

The Mayor and councillors from the Ayuntamiento of Antigua have met with the Spanish Costa Department in Madrid. Costas have agreed that errors were made in the beach regeneration scheme in Caleta de Fuste, and that they will undertake corrective measures. This will mean that the plan to widen the promenade path will be put on hold.. The
http://www.ayto-antigua.es/noticias/cost...jsiuTjcch4 Translation: Costas will correct the deficiencies of the El Castillo Beach Regeneration Project Mayor and councilors hold a meeting with the Directorate of Coasts in Madrid requesting the necessary improvement of El Castillo Beach. According to the press release sent by the local institution, "Costas assumes that there were errors in the execution of the Regeneration Project of El Castillo Beach and announces the tender this year of an action plan that corrects its current state." This Wednesday afternoon, the Mayor of Antigua, Matías Peña García, together with the Councilor for Tourism, @deborahcarol Edgington, the Councilor for Urban Planning, Manuel Hernández and the Councilor for Playas, Taishet Fuentes, met with the Deputy Director General for the Protection of the Coast, Angel Muñoz, in order to assess the state of El Castillo Beach. The meeting with the Directorate of Coasts has been promoted by the Senator of Fuerteventura, Paloma Hernández, at the request of the City Councils of Pájara and Antigua, with their representatives present therein. We thank the Senator for coordinating this meeting in which we have moved the necessary and urgent corrective intervention on a poorly executed project to regenerate El Castillo beach, says the mayor of Antigua, Matías Peña. Costas assumes having made mistakes in the execution of the El Castillo Beach project, announcing the tender this year of a plan or study that includes the necessary corrective actions. We value this announcement positively, but this will not be the only meeting we have with the Coastal Directorate evaluating each step and transferring the urgency of the intervention, says Matías Peña. In the same sense, we consider it regrettable that the improvement of the Paseo Marítimo must also be postponed before an execution project that contains inaccuracies, as the Government of the Canary Islands reflected in a negative report to the Directorate of Coasts in Madrid for its necessary correction. From the City Council of Antigua we demand and demand seriousness, speed and efficiency, and concludes Mayor Matías Peña, it is not acceptable that we still do not have a Beach and a Promenade in conditions in El Castillo, and that when they finally act with serious inaccuracies

On Cope Fuerteventura radio, the Mayor of Antigua has said (a translation) -
Antigua beach will be regenerated without extending the promenade At the meeting held in Madrid with the top officials of the General Directorate of Sustainability of the Coast and the Sea, at the request of the senator for Fuerteventura, Paloma Hernández, the authorities of Antigua achieved the commitment to regenerate the beach but without extending the promenade . A project that the City Council reformed in order to gain land to the beach for pedestrians and that has not been approved by the Government of the Canary Islands. For this reason, it is necessary to modify it again to recover the initial idea and, as soon as possible, transfer it so that it can be put out to tender as soon as possible. The central government will also tender the regeneration of the beach for which it will be necessary, notes Matías, “a new layer of sand” and “a large sieve that will also be included in the tender” and universal access to the beach as well as the other services.

It was then pumped ashore. I've got lots of photos and videos of the work in progress. One day I'll have time to create a timelapse video of the whole process.

We will agree to differ on this Stephen, I watched scores of lorries driving on to the beach and depositing the sand they even had earth moving equipment there before they actually started leveling The Beach.

A video call was held today between the Antigua Ayuntamiento and the Costas Department. The Ayuntamiento would like the beach renovation and promenade widening to be done during this period of low tourist occupancy.
