Marbella arch hangs in balance | The Olive Press


Marbella arch hangs in balance | The Olive Press: "future of the famous Marbella arch is hanging in the balance.Seen by some as a throwback to the years of corruption enjoyed by disgraced mayor Jesus Gil and others, the structure’s days – currently being dismantled – may be numbered.Marking the southern San Pedro entrance to the town, the arches are already being taken down as part of the A7’s new underpass.
“The Marbella Arch has been loved by residents and visitors since the early 1990s.
“It is part of the history and is an icon of Marbella.”Although the bricks are being numbered, IU councillor Enrique Monterroso believes they must go for good, describing them as “symbols of corruption”.
Town taxi drivers are also removing the arch from their vehicle logos and replacing them with the town’s blue and white flag"
