The Mijas Town Hall published on Tuesday 18th a decree reminding  land and building owners of the need to “maintain the facades in conditions of safety, health, public order and decorum, carrying out cleaning and painting works, as well as the necessary works to conserve or restore them”. Likewise, the document also states that “the installation and exposure of clothes lines on the public thoroughfare must be avoided, carrying out permanent and continuous maintenance of all the elements present on the façades and of all the exterior parts of the building that are visible the public”.

It is important to remember that the content of the aforementioned decree has its origin in article 17 of the Municipal Ordinance of Coexistence and Public Safety (BOP. No. 109 of 10/06/2013) which explicitly states that “the owners of land, constructions and buildings have the responsibility to maintain them in conditions of safety, health and public order”.

In this sense, the municipal ordinance places special emphasis on the need to keep privately owned plots and land clean in order to prevent fires from breaking out in these areas and in nearby buildings.

Essence

The historic centre of Mijas was declared a Historic-Artistic Site on the 24th of June 1969, making it the second municipality in Malaga to obtain this designation after Ronda. 

The text published in the Official State Gazette (BOE) noted that the fundamental importance of the town of Mijas “currently resides in its refined characteristics of a typical Andalusian village and in its privileged location”.

The publication of the decree, which can be consulted on the municipal website (www.mijas.es), reinforces the idea of safeguarding the essence of the municipality and its application concerns the entire town and not just Mijas Pueblo.
