Barrio San Francisco to get new park

Calle Torrejones in the Barrio San Francisco near the Predicatorio Roman ruins are to receive a 200,000€ makeover including a new retaining wall below the ruins, new seating area and landscaping.

Visitors entering from the Algeciras road often comment on this eyesore. Funding is being sourced from the second installment of Plan Zapatero, the local state investment plan.

Ronda’s councillor for Parks and Gardens Josefa Valle said today it was important to balance the beautification of Ronda between suburban parks for residents, and those that are located on entry roads where tourists are likely to see them.
