Sra. del Carmen schools.Finally, these works will also improve accessibility in the surroundings of the Health Center.The next step will be the tender for the execution of the work, which will likely be approved at the next Local Government Board.In the area of ​​Parks and Gardens, the contract for the drafting of the landscaping project for slopes and unique areas for the improvement and
