First stone

THE mayor of Vélez­Málaga, Antonio Moreno Ferrer, together with the local council laid the first stone in an ambitious construction project to build a multipurpose cultural centre in the Las Golondrinas estate on Monday, April 3.

The project is set to receive a whopping €2.1 million investment, and will house a variety of activities for local residents including Municipal School of Music and Dance. This exciting development has been made possible thanks to funding from the EDUSI programme and will take about a year to complete.

The project will feature 10 music classrooms, eight instrument­learning classrooms, two dance studios, and a library, all of which will be surrounded by lush green spaces.

There will also be an auditorium that can seat up to 200 people, a cafeteria, and several offices.

The building will also have pedestrian walkways and safety features to make the area more accessible and userfriendly for everyone.
