The company Técnicas Gades, S.L. will be in charge of carrying out the urbanization project within a maximum period of two months. This project will define the treatment of roads according to the guidelines of the Urbanization Ordinance in terms of design criteria, materials, trees and urban furniture that must be met by the urbanization works, which have an area of 7,091 m.2.
