A special meeting, called by the party in opposition, the Partido Popular (PP), has been held to discuss the image of Mijas Pueblo for tourists and visitors. The PP requested that the Town Hall pay greater attention to aesthetics in the area as it is a recognised Historical and Artistic Site and must fulfil certain obligations. A spokeswoman for the PP, Antonia Nuñez, said this issue must be monitored “to ensure the interests of residents and businesses of Mijas that live off the charm of the village.” The town Hall responded by naming the streets currently being re-modelled under the ‘Plan Qualificada’ scheme.
