Plaza General Eulate in Buenavista del Norte

Something I have yet to see is the Plaza General Eulate in Buenavista del Norte. This square is alongside the church of Nuestra Señora de Los Remedios, which was destroyed by a fire in 1996, restored and re-opened in 2004. (On the other side, the Plaza General Eulate fronts onto this wide street.) During the interim (and I came to this area in 1999), the adjoining plaza has been hidden behind a high wall of barriers and building materials.

A press release from Buenavista town hall announces that the first phase of the remodelling works in the plaza have been completed, with the aim of "dynamizing tourism in the area". Although, making the historic center of the town a prettier place to walk around, I think will be nice for all of us.

The plaza will be able to be seen in all its splendor, once the rest of the phases have been completed, which mainly focus on a children's play area and gardens and, which will be carried out shortly. (Photo at the site below.)
