Compromís denounces the “deplorable” state of the entrances to the Castle of Santa Bárbara in the middle of the high tourist season. The coalition demands urgent solutions from the bipartisan due to the lack of alternatives so that visitors can access the fortress.
“17 months ago, in February 2020, the Councilor for Culture, Antonio Manresa, announced shuttles to the fortress, without having been launched,” recalls its mayor Rafa Mas.
The mayor warns that the lack of information on the closure of the parking lot, together with the fact that the elevator has been out of service for more than a year and the abandonment of alternative accesses such as the pedestrian wall, the shuttle buses would be the only alternative to climb walking in the middle of summer.
But he considers that all these problems, together with the lack of a master plan for uses, are a sign of the neglect of the functions of the vice mayor and head of Tourism, Mari Carmen Sánchez. Qualifies that the execution of the powers of the mayor “is leading to the tourist ruin of the city.”

But he adds that the assumption of powers of the castles by Tourism has not translated into anything. “We are in the middle of the summer season and we do not know what will be the direction that is going to be given to the management of the castles of the city,” concludes the mayor.
