The illegal city that takes place in the municipality of Arona next to El Fraile It already has 200 neighbors. Not inhabitants, but full-fledged neighbors, who have managed, at least since 2014, to circumvent the legal requirements so that the City hall recognize their residence in that place; quite a contradiction, if one takes into account that It is an illegal subdivision located on rustic land under agricultural protectionwhich, by law, cannot be used for agriculture.
However, it has been. And there is at least two hundred people listed as residents in that placeas explained to DIARIO DE AVISOS by sources familiar with the information that was exchanged between the municipality and the Canarian Agency for the Protection of the Natural Environment.
It must be borne in mind that it was the previous government team, with the Town Planning Councilor, Leopoldo Díaz Oda, and the mayor, José Julián Mena, who launched the procedure that led the Prosecutor’s Office to investigate this city that came out of nowhere . How have these people come to appear as neighbors in a place where there cannot be? it is not known. Something similar had happened before with a squat shopping center on Paseo de Los Tarajales (Los Cristianos).
Not only that, but, right now, Lomo Negro would already have more than a hundred buildings and removable structures to reside in themsomething that is very difficult to legalize, since this type of land prohibits not only building on it, but also installing anything for residential use.
