70 locals from the inland Málaga village of Almogía have shut themselves up in the Town Hall in an indefinite sit-in

70 locals from the inland Málaga village of Almogía have shut themselves up in the Town Hall in an indefinite sit-in which began on Monday to demand repairs to the road which connects the village with Antequera.

It’s the old road from Málaga to Antequera and has been closed for the past 14 months after it subsided after heavy rainfall. Its closure has affected some 200 families who now have to travel an extra 23 kilometres to reach the capital of the Costa del Sol.
