There have been six years of discussions between the council and the Junta de Andalucia and now, a budget of €6 million has been agreed with a tentative start date for construction being June of this year.

The mayor said: “It is a happy day for Mijas residents. This is an achievement that has been shared with all the residents, and the parents who have not given up demanding a school with facilities decent enough for their children.”
