  "account": "A Spanish town, Torrox, is investing over €288,000 to refurbish two historic streets in its old centre, Refinos and El Porton. Mayor Oscar Medina highlighted the project as a significant investment in the town's old quarter, noting similar work done on other streets like Andazalia, Cebadillas Bajas, and Matadero. The aim is to enhance daily life for residents, eliminate leaking pipes, and provide a well-maintained centre that stands up to tourist seasons. El Porton will be transformed with traditional clay tiles, proper pavements, and new storm drains, while Refinos will see the replacement of water and sewer lines, house connections, and inspection chambers. The total cost of the project is almost €209,000, funded jointly by Torrox council, Malaga Provincial Council, and the Junta de Andalucia. The work on Refinos is expected to prevent bursts and keep services running for the homes in the area. Officials believe the project will help local shops remain open and encourage residents to use the town centre more frequently. This plan follows a similar pattern of earlier center improvements, rather than a one-off spend.",
