At the beginning of May it was announced that the rural hostel at Fuente del Esparto in the Natural Park was expected to open within a few weeks once the contractor took possession and installed the necessary equipment.
The Councillor for Environment, Nieves Atencia, has today announced that the complex could now open to the public later this month, once the contractor has completed a series of improvement and refurbishment works.
Since the concession was awarded. the contractor has been implementing a number of changes, including the installation of photovoltaic panels to supply electricity to the hostel and the merendero at the picnic area at El Pinarillo.
The hostel was formerly the old miner’s houses, Casa de Los Mineros, and has twenty beds divided into five modules, as well as lounge and other recreational areas.
