Works have already got going on the €380,000 project, for which the Diputacion is providing funding under its Municipal Investment Plans.
Huercal-Overa Council has announced it will put out to tender the management of the main building for its use as a restaurant, cafe and museum, plus it will provide local sports clubs with their own space.
“We are talking about the restoration of a historic and monumental building in an idyllic environment in a unique natural zone,” commented Diputacion Development deputy Oscar Lira on a visit to the station on Sunday.
The conversion works are due to be completed at the beginning of next year.
