THE TOWN HALL TAKES CHARGE OF “HOGAR DEL JUBILADO” DAY CENTRE FOR THE ELDERLY

During the present year the Unicaja Bank has closed all its “hogares del jubilados” in which it collabora-

ted in Spain. For this reason from the 1st of September, the Town Hall has taken control of these insta-

lations destined for continued social use by our elderly persons. The Town Hall is undertaking a series of

improvements before re - opening this centre. During the Works the centre has moved to the “Fabrica”

in Camino de Archez, where the Peña Flamenca is also based.From the Town Hall we are very sad that

Unicaja has made this decision.

HOMAGE TO THE SONGS OF THE ZAMBOMBA On Friday the 6th of September at

21:00H. The Town Hall has organised

homage to the songs of the Zambomba in

the Calle Arenas, known locally as ’El

Corral de los Pollos’. An act to thank all

those who are working to keep our tradi-

tions alive. We shall also unveil a monu-

ment to the Zambomba.

MUNICIPAL SWIMMING POOL We remind everyone that the pool will close on the 30th of

September for vital Works. Cleaning of

the installations and preparing the

heating system ready for the Winter

months. At the same time we will com-

plete the Padel Courts.
