Vélez-Málaga Council is planning to relocate the current San Francisco retail market to the site of the former bus station in avenida Vivar Téllez, once the necessary refurbishment work has been completed of course.
The current plan is for work to begin on the site at the beginning of next year and for it to be finished by the summer. The cost of the project is estimated at €300,000.
The new facility will be 1,350 square metres, with three separate sections for the market: greengrocery, meats and fish. There will also be locales for bars, supermarkets and shops and parking for 70 vehicles.
Once the works have been completed and the market moved, the existing retail market will undergo a major transformation. Over time, it will be decided whether the transfer of the market to the former bus station is to be permanent or temporary.
