Up at Plaza Cantarero work is progressing once more, albeit quite slowly. The orange trees seem to have been thinned out a bit but at least they are still there, otherwise it would no longer be Orange Square.
Plaza Cavana, March 23rd 2010
Almost frantic activity in Plaza Cavana at the moment, presumably a sudden attempt to get the square finished in time for Easter. So many workmen on the site, no doubt pulled from the other works such as calle Carabeo. It is quite noisy as the paving stones are being cut and laid but it shouldn’t last too long.

The fountain in Plaza Cantarero now has a new concrete base as work continues on the square.
