Along with the Advisory Committee, the mayor of Torrevieja, Eduardo Dolón visited the archaeological site at the Eras de la Sal last week.

The group was introduced to the company that will draw up the architectural plans for the project of the new Museo del Mar, a Multipurpose Enclosure which will also be used as the main venue of the International Habaneras Contest, as well as its complementary infrastructures and urbanisation area. In drawing up the designs the company, Paredes Pedrosa, will have a budget of 660,660 euros.

Once the contract is formalised, the company will then have a period of two months to present a study of three possible constructive alternatives that will include landscape, spatial and urban integration, which will then be put out to tender at a further cost of 7.7 million euros.

The reason for the meeting was to share various ideas related to the project in the Eras de la Sal and the creation of the new Museo del Mar y la Sal, especially in relation to the history, culture, special features and characteristics of this unique building.
