A call for the site to be protected so nothing can be built on top of it

Nobody would dream of giving permission for a residential development to be built at the Alhambra in Granada because of its historical value, and this is just the same, says Julián Ramos, the director of the site at La Araña, who wants the extensive archaeological area to be protected.

Part of the site has already been destroyed, when the road was constructed and the cement factory was built. Theres nothing we can do about that now, so there is no point in concerning ourselves with something which has already disappeared. What is important now, and what we want, is to ensure that what remains is subject to protection, so nobody can build anything else on top of it, he insists.
