Free Internet access will be available on some beaches at Easter, to be extended to 50 access points for the summerLa Malagueta Beach.

There is to be free WiFi access on the beaches of Málaga this Easter, thanks to an agreement between the Costa del Sol’s beach businesses association and Gowex, the company which sponsors WiFi Internet connections on the municipal buses in Madrid.

Diario Sur reports that the service will be available later this week on La Malagueta in Málaga City, and on La Carihuela and El Bajondillo, in Torremolinos. The aim is to extend the project across the coast to 50 connection points for the summer.

The sign-posted points of access will be at chiringuitos and beach bed areas where users will be able to access the Net, free of charge, after registering and being provided with a user name and a password.

Gowex has a network of WiFi kiosks across the country, including a number in Málaga, where free Internet access is also available.
