Again we have been late with major infrastructure such as accommodation.
The figure of a million and a half pilgrims Department of Tourism has made it difficult to accept since it would have had an average of 4,200 visitors daily.
If it were only on buses (with an average of 50 passengers) would have had to come on average about 83 buses daily.
Nobody has seen anything like that (unless you count often the same people).
As we observed, the hotel has been the most benefit (bars and restaurants) that have saved what could have been a year loose with the crisis.
The rest of the trade appears to have not noticed much, as people spent little.
We have drawn attention to complaints concerning some merchants have been numerous thefts of items (although they were of low value items) when they were the crowds of visitors.
Therefore, even if we admit have surpassed one million, this time, which did not occur in 2003, it is certain that the amount spent per visitor in Caravaca has been much less, as has been observed both museums Caravaca Jubilee as manifested by the traders themselves.
In terms of organization, we have insisted that we had to get groups coming by bus stop on Avenue hiciesen of platforms next to the Temple and that from here to review the Old Main, which has not been achieved .
Another issue on which we have stressed is the need for benefit districts also place value on its appeal even though this has not been enhanced (in the natural aspect, archaeological, gastronomic, cultural, etc.)..
We also note that the image that we have not been as desirable as regards the aspect of people and the environment and infrastructure.
We have reported the presence of numerous uncontrolled landfills near the Cross Roads marked.
The poor condition of the pavement of rural roads for which the pilgrims also traffic so we complained and all that remains virtually unchanged.
No park and ride equipped and marked to prevent the collapse of vehicles at the entrance of Caravaca.
For example it has lacked a source close to the Greenway on arrival at Caravaca (which have claimed many pilgrims).
In regard to the local economy, we must say that despite the Jubilee, in 2010 unemployment has continued to grow albeit at a slower pace than in previous years, which means it has not served to generate net employment in Caravaca, by therefore believe that has produced some of wealth in a very specific sectors, such as hotels, but has not been noticed in general.
Therefore, before coming to Jubilee 2017 should have at least something on which we have insisted as a visitor reception area at the beginning of the Avenue of the Andenes (where Public Works).
It is also necessary to have a series of park and ride near the main entrances, as we said, and especially to good local tourism to complement the local and consolidated with longer stays overnight, a feature which has remained the unfinished because we do not have accommodation for up to groups, given that so far has launched only a small hostel that is the Almudema.
The rest, as expected, have not arrived in time (of the Llano and the station).
