The city of Sant Cugat is in the process of building a new garbage dump about 400 meters from Agora. Not sure why it's been picked up by the local paper just now, since they've been digging the hole for quite some time. I'm sure that the Holiday Inn right next door will be overjoyed as well.
The center for high performance sports (CAR) is not quite so happy either.

Thanks for the tip. I´m living in Coll Fava which would be less than one kilometer away from the dump. I am afraid for bad smells and health risks especially in summer or when the wind blows from the wrong direction. Have inscribed myself to the platform against the dump, would encourage anyone else to do so as well: http://www.abocadorcanfatjo.cat/
And I was wondering all the time why there were so many trucks full of sand coming from the direction of the Holiday Inn...
I had a closer look yesterday and the hole seems huge!!
Just to add that the website mentions that the plans for the dump are from the city of Cerdanyola, not Sant Cugat. Apparently just within Cerdanyola city limits.
So much for having good neighbours....
