Pricey order

MANY people have recently received notification from Mijas town hall that urbanisations must bury all electric cables.

In 2004 our small urbanisation received a quotation for similar work which would have cost us about €4000 per household.  These days not many people have that amount spare.  Surely this work should be the responsibility of the people who installed the cables, Sevillana-Endesa.

If this is principally for tourism then why not limit it to the village as 90 per cent of tourists to Mijas only visit the old town.

I think that the hanging cables give personality to the village.
