The Madrid company Expociencia S. L. has reportedly filed an appeal with the Administrative Court in Málaga against the awarding of the contract to equip the Nerja Museum to the Catalan joint venture Playmedia.
Expociencia S. L. was one of five companies who submitted bids for the final phases of the museum project.
The work to equip the museum is already under way, but this appeal could possibly result in the cessation of that work.
This is the second appeal filed against the Nerja Caves Foundation, the first being made last March by the PP Government of Nerja on the grounds of perceived ‘irregularities’ in the securing of loans.
On this latest potential setback, the manager of the Nerja Caves Foundation, Ángel Ramírez, is reported as saying that he believes this is just another manoeuvre by the Mayor of Nerja to stop progress with the museum.
