New look ADRA town hall approved a €1.3 million contract to rehabilitate the  Cultural Centre, making it more energy-efficient and accessible.  Work, which is expected to begin in the near future and should be completed over the next nine months, also includes remodelling the façade, Adra mayor Manuel Cortes revealed.
