Minster of Tourism visits refurbished Mojacar Parador

    The Minister of Industry, Tourism and Commerce, Miguel Sebastian, visited the recently reopened Parador in Mojacar to inaugurate the refurbished zones there. He was accompanied by the mayoress of Mojacar, Rosa Maria Cano, the president of the Paradores organisation and other provincial and regional politicians. The refurbishment of the common areas and half of the rooms in the Parador took over eighteen months and cost over eight million euros to complete. The Parador has lost much of its dark and rather musty look and is now much lighter and airier, a look much more fitting with its sea front position. The rooms which have been renovated are those which aren't lucky enough to have sea views and the new, bigger windows they have been fitted with compensate to some extent for this.

    The minister, who has been in the news recently for his views on the fuel price crisis, something he lays squarely at the doors of speculators playing the stock market, used the occasion to talk about energy production in Spain and specifically about renewable energy, giving a special mention to the government's support for development of photovoltaic energy generation here in Almeria.
