The Provincial Council of Almeria has awarded the contract for the drafting of the master plan that will set the guidelines for rehabilitating and giving cultural and tourist use to the Cortijo del Fraile, the Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC) located in the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park linked to an extensive artistic and audiovisual production with special prominence in the works 'Blood Wedding', by Federico García Lorca and 'Puñal de claveles', by Carmen de Burgos, and the setting for films such as 'Death had a price', 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly' in cinema 'I am the revolution' and the series 'Paco's Men'.
The design of the plan for this property, acquired by the institution in 2022, will be carried out by the joint venture formed by 3XC Arquitectos, Carlos Corredera Arqués and Natán Quesada Sánchez, which has been awarded the contract for 130,514.23 euros in accordance with the agreement adopted by the local government board consulted by Europa Press.
The Provincial Heritage Commission already authorized in May 2023 the new uses proposed for this property and its surroundings, which covers a total area of 305,376 square meters including the delimitation of the BIC with the typology of Historic Site as well as the surrounding agricultural space.
In this context, the master plan proposed by the successful bidder --which will have a period of one year to submit the document-- will have to detail a proposal for rehabilitation, protection and adaptation, as well as an approach to zoning and uses of the property and the environment; analysis of financial sustainability and proposals for management modalities of the site.
Three phases
The master plan will therefore be deployed in three phases: a first of analysis and diagnosis with an advance of intervention criteria; a second of social participation and a final one with a model of intervention, rehabilitation and adaptation of the property and the environment, as well as a management system. In the case of the participation phase, the successful bidder will seek the "involvement of all those sectors that could be of interest" or that contribute "to a greater degree of interaction".
The roadmap will identify and define the investments to be made on the various heritage elements and all the interventions in the infrastructures associated with their enhancement, specifying not only the proposals or management modalities, but also the relevant administrative, legal, economic-financial, institutional and social procedures and procedures.
The UTE must present to the Provincial Council, in addition to the master plan itself, a summary document "very visual and synthetic" for public exhibition as well as a "360 tour" that, in video format, shows a flight simulation and tour of the entire area of action with the proposed result.
Currently, the Cortijo del Fraile has a "partial and very limited" use as storage in the corrals that are on the main façade and "totally abandoned in the housing area and the rest of the complex".
"Its poor state of conservation and total
abandonment do not enable the possibility of any use. The surrounding
landscape, belonging to the estate, has been modified in order to form
irrigated plots that are part of a large agricultural exploitation," the
document details.
