More than 200 homes on municipal land
In the same plenary session, the City Council gave a new impulse to the plan ‘Ibiza, a city to live in’ with the definitive approval of the transfer of two municipal lands to the Balearic Housing Institute (IBAVI), located in the streets Sant Francesc de ses Salines, 15, and Canarias, 16.
