Photos from San Claudio
This picture was taken from "el Velovio", a rural area towards the East of San Claudio. This area is one of many that will disappear because of the new development plans.
San Claudio, together with Colloto are affected the most by the new PGOU.
If you have pictures of the area in which you live, please send them on to us, and we'll make sure they will get published.

Debating the allegations to the PGOU
The municipal government of Oviedo has brought the celebration of the extraordinary commission that will debate the report of allegations of the PGOU forward.
The opposition will have little time -from last Tuesday (26 October)- to study the report containing provisional resolutions for close to a thousand allegations presented by individuals and groups.

First unofficial reply to allegations PGOU
Today's paper the Voice of Asturias informs that none of the alegations that were presented to the proposal were accepted. They (City Hall) state that we are limiting the growth of Oviedo with a very restrictive interpretation of applicable law. Their interpretation on the other hand is on the far other side of the scale.
San Claudio is a rural area about six kilometers from Oviedo.
Oviedo has enough grounds within the current City limits to be able to absorb the growth that is foreseen, eventhough there are lots of reasons, demographical, statistical, market, that raise serious doubts about the rigour with which the projected growth was calculated.
As the growth numbers are not serious and the location of the new growth areas can only be seen as discriminative and without reasoning, we see this development as purely speculative.
If these plans go ahead, it will mean the end of rural life in arround Oviedo in the mayority of cases.
