The location of the new medical centre in Benalmádena Pueblo has now been confirmed. The Town Hall has always made it clear that it would be situated at the junction of Avenida Juan Luis Peralta and Calle Feria, but it has not been until now that they have managed to agree a deal with the owners of the desired historic buildings to house the centre. In exchange for the premises, the existing proprietors will take over a 524 square metre plot of land in the Arroyo de la Miel Industrial Estate, which can be used for commercial or industrial purposes. According to municipal sources, the plot of land is of a lower value than the building in the Pueblo, so the Town Hall will pay the owners the 7,000 euros difference.
