A wave effect on our new square
As promised, here some pictures of our new revitalised centre designed by architect Salvador Moreno Peralta, from Malaga! Grey clouds were hanging in the sky yesterday evening, so my pics may be a bit dull...
The most emblematic element is the new pergola over the main square Plaza Costa del Sol. Its wave effect focuses on the close relationship between the town and the water element: of course, our town is located at the coast, but long ago, it was also famous because of its different water mills ("molinos"). A beautiful old fountain has been moved to its original place (I took no pic of it, as too many people were sitting there).
Altogether, our centre is a lot more attractive now than it was before. Sea resorts still cannot compete with historic cities, but we have got some fresh air in a centre that was decadent.
Can you even remember that cars were streaming constantly (two lanes in each direction!) through this street?

Hi Chani! Sorry I haven't been around for a while. Hope you're well! Good that your town has got a facelift - those palm trees definitely suggest a coastal location. I like the perceptive in your photos, which makes them interesting.
