In the case of the file of the section of the Vía Litoral of access to San Andrés that runs from Cueva Bermeja to the South to the so-called Jagua quarry (Los Pasitos), “the reality is a road outside the operation of the Port”, comments the mayor, “the same thing happens with the disaffected land from the public domain in the Tahodio functional area, made up of the plot currently occupied by the CEIP Miguel Pintor.”
