The town hall in Benahavís has agreed to set up a meeting between a protest group and the electricity company planning to install several new high-tension pylons in the area close to the Montemayor Arabic castle.

Between 50 and 60 people joined a march on Sunday, asking for Red Eléctrica Española, part of the Spanish Public Works Ministry, to reconsider its plans to install several new pylons in an area the group says would entail the destruction of 14,000 square metres of Mediterranean forest.

The platform (No a las Torres de Alta Tensión en el Paraje de Montemayor) is calling for the cables to be placed underground to reduce not only the impact on the local flora and fauna, but also the visual impact.

"It's the most logical thing to do," a spokesperson said.
