Altea’s mayor Jaime Llinares, together with Diego Zaragozi and Pere Barber – respective councillors for Infrastructure and Sports – arranged several meetings with the construction company. After what they described as “arduous negotiating” they came to the conclusion that it was necessary to ask the contractors to cede the project to another firm
