IT WILL BE LOCATED IN THE AREA KNOWN AS LAS CUATERÍAS DE LOS VELÁZQUEZ.

The Village of San Nicolás will have one of the twelve livestock centers that the Cabildo of Gran Canaria plans to locate in seven municipalities on the island, whose surface will add 476,36 hectares for new farms and to relocate those that do not keep the required distance to urban areas.

With dimensions ranging between 150 hectares of pools, in Agüimes, and the less than 12 from Barranco del Inciensal and Lomo Caballero, in Santa Lucía de Tirajana and Telde, respectively, The dozen livestock centers that the Agricultural Territorial Plan proposes in Gran Canaria will be the ideal places to concentrate professional farms and those that must move due to not keeping the minimum distances established populated centers.

The territorial plan that this Monday goes to the technical presentation of the Cotmac for its final approval allocates 476 hectares to these 12 cores, three in Santa Lucía de Tirajana, two in Agüimes, Ingenio and San Bartolome, and one in La Aldea de San Nicolás, Gáldar and Telde.

From the list of 19 from the provisional approval seven have fallen, due to its proximity to the tourist area or due to land classification, like those proposed in the Florida cuarterías, in San Bartolomé de Tirajana, in Llanos de Botija, in Gáldar, or in Tivoli, in the capital of the island. In others the dimensions have been reduced or the location modified.

The other two centers of San Lucía are located in Sardina del Sur, in the holes of Los Cardones and La Negra; the second in Agüimes occupies the Llano de Las Monjas; those from Ingenio are in Lomo Caballo and Llanos del Deán; those of San Bartolomé are located to the South and West of Aldea Blanca; The one in La Aldea is located in the Los Velázquez quarters and the one in Gáldar is located in El Cerrillal..

The selection of these plots to locate new livestock farms and those that cannot be legalized in their current location does not require the creation of 12 cores, but it does limit itself to those pockets of rustic soil, mostly abandoned agricultural land, the places where the new livestock estates can be located, as explained by the Council's Policy Advisor, Anna Course.
