The centre is set to be the first big shopping centre in the Canary islands to be refurbished. 

It was built in the 1970s and has over 200 business in privately-owned premises so you can imagine the effort needed to get them all to agree to spend their money to do it up. As it is, only two of the four areas of the centre, accounting for 60% of its area,  are getting the refurb.

Worked is expected to start in a year's time and to last for 18 months. The centre and its businesses will remain open throughout the job.

We just hope that the project includes money to correct the spelling of the main 'Shopping Center' sign.
