The Council of Tenerife has invited tenders for the remodelling works of the “Mercadillo del Agricultor de Cruz del Carmen” (Cruz del Cármen Farmers Marketplace) located at the “Parque Rural de Anaga” (Anaga’s Rural Park) in la Laguna municipality. The project counts with a budget of 208,800 euros, and was approved by the council of the island in a meeting held yesterday, presided by the council’s president, Ricardo Melchior.

The construction works consist on the addition of a shop, the redesigning of the warehouse to include the shop’s storage room, and the enlargement of the offices and restrooms.
