It is seven months since the completion of the Nerja History Museum, located in Plaza de España, yet it remains closed to the public due to party political wranglings and feuds.
It is highly unlikely to open while Ángel Ramirez remains manager of the Nerja Caves Foundation, the organisation responsible for the construction of the museum. Ramirez stepped down as opposition PSOE leader but remains in his post with the Nerja Caves Foundation.
However, the General Election on November 20th 2011 could change things dramatically. If, as widely expected, the PP take control of the national government, management of the Nerja Caves Foundation would be taken over by the ruling party.
On that basis, it is quite conceivable that the museum could open to the public by the end of this year.
