the following email was sent to me by my spainish solicitor after i read the message posted by ahandley on 2nd april.
Miguel Angel Santini (Aifos Marbella) has confirmed that no building or top of the buildings has been demolished. The situation in Cortijo is still the same, that Aifos is waiting from the Junta de Andalucia to approved the project and this could take another 5 months, so the project now is:
Block D1 and D2 (block 8, 9 and 10) the building work are carrying out as normal.
Block A1, A2, B1, B2 and B3 (block 1-5) the building work has been stopped following orders from the Town Hall
And Block C (block 6 and 7) the building work is paralyzed.
