your town, day to day.”

Many residents are concerned about a wave of robbery in the town. Says Raul: “The crime problem derives from the sale and consumption of drugs.

From the town hall, we’ve increased the number of local police and we’re asking the government sub-delegation to increase the Guardia Civil and act in known drug dealing locations.

Afterwards, the law, as applied by our judges and prosecutors, must help us to eradicate this problem.”

He adds: “I urge people to denounce crime and appear at trials so that convictions occur. Social services, for their part, are working on options for drug users.”

We have some advanced projects planned for the town. These include the new hospital, Guardia Civil barracks, a plaza and carpark project, improvement of some roads and bridges to make mobility easier, improved access to Lanjarón, and a park.

He concludes: “We’re at a crucial moment for the future of Órgiva. Let's imagine the town hall, Diputacion de Granada, Junta and Spanish government working together. to boost Órgiva and the Alpujarra.

“We can make our beloved Capital of the Alpujarra a benchmark throughout the province.”
