Cuevas del Becerro, in the
Serrania de Ronda, held a General Strike yesterday, in protest at plans to build two hotels and new housing in the village.
The locals feel that their village life is under threat, and so all businesses and shops closed for the day and a march was held.
The locals say they are particularly concerned about the water supply and they are calling on the
Junta de Andalucia to stop the plans to build 800 homes, two golf courses and two luxury hotels in the
Merinos Norte project.
Local IU mayor,
Isabel Teresa Rosado, was among the protestors and described the day as 'a landmark in the history of democracy'.
