Palma.—The opening ceremony of the new Plaza de España in Andratx will take place today.
But not without controversy.
The local council and the Council of Majorca have over the last few months invested heavily in the refurbishment of the square, but there has been a great deal of  opposition from the local residents.
The initial project, which consisted of pedestrianising the public square, removing all the parking spaces and  removing trees and plants where  necessary, caused outrage in the local community.
And,  after much debate, the local authorities agreed to remove those plans from the project, in order to keep everyone happy.
