The artist Víctor Goioketxea has started work on the mural commissioned by Xàbia Council in the municipal car park located just outside the port area in Avenida del Port.
The sketches show the marine roots of the maritime neighborhood with the fishing port and other aspects of the port zone. At the moment, the mural is in the phase of marking out the figures and features that will form the final design.
Awarded through a minor contract, Goikoetxea will receive about 8,000 euros for this work which has been commissioned by the Department of Culture, without consultation with the Cultural Council, and it will be the second time that such work has been contracted in this way after the complaints conveyed by one of the members of the advisory body in one of its last meetings.
