The La Reina building is would make very desirable apartments with little modification. The circular entrance and huge adjacent parking lot in the rear would be perfect for residents. The view over the square and down main street would be spectacular from the upper levels. As in the past this building could once again be TV flagship.

but most utilities are not covered

Always amazed at posts about things such as if utilities are covered, or not, and yet no renovations have started. Doesn’t matter if you think you are right, only the new tenets will be effected

these were forward looking people. Iv been here 21 years love all the changes , the complaints about high crime , traffic jams , the family makes to much money , please give me a break . I go out to eat 5 or 6 times a week even in high season at 7pm maybe you have to wait an extra 20 minutes so you sit or stand at bar .and chat with new people .After those 4 months or so your free to do what you want here. . You know for a large group of people who hate socialism( except for medicare ) I don’t understand the complaint that the family should keep a losing business going because they have a lot of money . I’m 81 have moved 5 times as the villages have moved so have I and I have loved each area , I’m glad they are giving more options , lots of people can’t understand that each new area brings younger people , so maybe just embrace the change or move into one of those retirement communities with one golfcourse and one recreation center where you can wait till your called for the last move
