Recovering places, streets and corners emblematic of the locality remains one of the efforts of the Government Team;
aware of the importance of valuing those unique elements of our municipality.
Within this plan, the next action in this line, announced by the Department of Culture, will be the improvement action of the Mill of the Alacranes.
The historical, symbolic and affective value of this place, restored in 1982 and later rehabilitated in 2013, justifies a performance that - they pointed out from the Council - will consist in the replacement of the poles of the blades and the candles in order that they may operate during certain times of the day.
The work, which will start imminently and whose deadline is quite brief, will have a total cost of 2,000 euros.
El Cabezo de los Alacranes is located on the highest mountain in the town.
This mill, like that of Sagrera, came into operation well into the twentieth century.
The license for the construction of this mill is granted on July 27, 1871 to Manuel Saura Martínez, a native of Níjar.
