Hi,
thank you for the detail, though I am still not sure why it is referred to as whitewashing.

I cannot see how the model described will work, at some point surely they have to build up the businesses again to make a profit, not much gain in sitting with a load of empty buildings.
The whole situation is strange but the reality is that the Plaza is going downhill and there has been little post-covid pick-up so something is not right.
By the way, La Fuente Centre is going the same way, several of the restaurants there have closed.
Rgds,

The Commercial centres of Villamartin plaza, La Fuentes, Los Dolses and Rioja have become so run down. We have lived in the area nearly 8 years and in that time there does not appear to have been any work on the infrastructure of these centres to bring them up to a reasonable standard. An example of this is the stairs in the La Fuentes CC by Isabela's are in a very dangerous state back boards of the stairs are hanging loose. There are cracked and broken slabs on the steps in front of the Ibex office. Los Dolses is in a worse state, last year a large chunk of masonry fell off the wall of the solicitors on the higher level which landed right by the Bankinter ATM how no one was injured I do not know. Why are the owners not being forced to bring these centres up to standard.
