The property, located on Mérida street, showed cracks in some pillars, prompting the Armilla City Council to evacuate residents as a precaution around 2:00 PM.
The council has arranged temporary housing for three residents who had no alternative accommodation, while the rest of the tenants are staying with family or at their second homes.
Repair work to reinforce the damaged pillars in the Armilla building began this Saturday. The municipal architect is scheduled to visit the property on Monday, although an approximate date for the residents' return has not yet been set.
Meanwhile, in Las Gabias, emergency work to reinforce pillars in buildings preemptively evacuated after the earthquakes concluded on Friday. Municipal technicians and specialists from a structural engineering firm are now evaluating the work and safety conditions before authorizing residents to return.
“"We know these have been very difficult days, and that fatigue and uncertainty weigh increasingly heavily. The reinforcement work has finished, and now we are taking the next step, which is to technically verify that everything has been executed correctly. I want to ask our neighbors for a final effort of patience and, above all, thank them for the exemplary behavior, understanding, and cooperation they have shown from the very beginning."
The Mayor of Las Gabias, Meri Sádaba, emphasized that the council's priority is safety, assuring that the goal is for residents to return to their homes as soon as possible and with all necessary guarantees. The precautionary evacuation will remain in effect until technical assessments confirm the required safety conditions.
