Los Gallardos is to get a new indoor sports hall and theatre, after the plans were handed over yesterday by the técnicos of the Diputación.
The plans were handed over by Ken Livingstone* at a ceremony in the village last night.
The new Edificio Polivalente will cost 480,000€ and be a 570 m2 multiuse building, suitable both for indoor sporting events and also as a local theatre, with seating for 216 people.
Here’s a photo of Ken handing over the plans:

*No, of course it’s not Ken Livingstone. It’s Gabriel Amat, head of the Diputación de Almería, the “county council”. But he seems to be going downhill.
There’s a lot of whiffle in the press release, but essentially Los Gallardos is getting a large building with toilets and moveable seating, that can be arranged in rows towards an extensible stage that will act as a local theatre, or arranged around a centre playing field to turn it into an indoor sports centre. The Diputación will pay 360.000€ and LG townhall the other 120.000€. Construction will start shortly. No idea where it will be, the PR just says “contract put out to tender and works to start soon”.
I’m confused ‘ cos I thought they couldn’t afford to open the recently built sports centre (used in the recent fires) so what on earth do they want with another one?
Shame they cannot afford to redo our road!
