We want the main artery of the city to be a large shopping area, where you can walk with ease and that is a stirring within the creation of the New Lorca that is emerging after the earthquakes.
We are talking about an integrative project that includes all the citizens' proposals that Lorca's own made in the broad participation process carried out before the works were drawn up.
