The report titled Ciudades al rojo vivo (Cities in the Red) analyzes how Spanish cities face extreme temperatures. In the case of Malaga, although 93 spaces have been identified, the entity warns that the network is insufficient and has barely changed compared to the previous year.
One of the most criticized points is the inclusion of places that do not offer real protection against heat. Among them, an outdoor parking lot at the Hospital Civil is mentioned, which lacks trees, awnings, or water sources, and is also currently under construction.
The organization emphasizes that simply labeling a space as a climate shelter does not guarantee citizen safety. According to Greenpeace, these places must have shade, rest areas, and access to drinking water to be effective against heatwaves.
The report also identifies operational barriers, such as closing times that coincide with peak demand hours or the lack of citizen participation in the design of these climate adaptation plans.
