Ciudad Real inaugurates first phase of Los Angeles neighborhood silo recovery
The first phase of the recovery project for the silos in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Ciudad Real has been inaugurated. This initial stage involved the cleaning and adaptation of the surrounding area, supported by approximately €500,000 in European funding through the CRATER project.
Mayor Francisco Cañizares attended the event, noting that the area had suffered from years of neglect. He stated that the space is intended to become a 'lung for the neighborhood,' serving as a zone for leisure, community meeting, and local participation. The project also involved the transfer of the silo space from the Junta de Comunidades to the City Council, as well as land donations from local resident Elisa Céspedes Medrano.
