The ESG wishes to remind those interested in protecting Pinar Del Rey from destruction to support a protest being held on Sunday 20th April at 12.00 noon. Markers indicating location of protest will be set in place to ensure you find the right spot to congregate.
The planned highway seeks to run through El Pinar del Rey and across a river called El Arroyo de la Alhaja. This project has been described as having “social interest” by the Ministry of Public Works as the aim of the road will be to facilitate transport of goods from the massive container port in Algeciras to Malaga.
Pinar del Rey is rich in biodiversity and an important green lung in an otherwise heavily polluted region. This road project will further undermine the natural environment in an area already hijacked by heavy industry.
It is up to citizens in the Bay to set aside one hour of your time on Sunday to help support its protection.
