The regeneration of Competa
Sunday, February 8, 2026 @ 5:52 PM
More Scottish / Spanish connections. The beautiful town of Wick has similar problems as Competa with regeneration and distance from Inverness and Malaga respectively. The centre of Competa is revived, and it is now a buzzing town, far from the madding crowd still but with lots of walkers and of course the annual art walk, which is great and fits with out art and the environment. Salvador Dali is my favourite artist and also linked science with art. There was a beautiful orange grove in the centre of Competa. It is still there, and the apartments and shopping mall have been innovatively built around it. The construction phase was not without its problem, but as usual the Spanish people found a way.
