I agree, 'the Palms' (el palmeral) which is supposed to be open, doesn't look at all impressive to say the least .
It looks like a poorly thought out rush job to me. Flat, spartan, dull and uninteresting
I'll reserve final judgement pending further photos, but so far not so good

BTW on a similar note. I hope they will be doing something about the plethora of ugly electricity pylons all over the place. Before I bought I was told that there would be a great effort to keep most of the power cabling underground. Bit by bit I'm losing faith in what I've been told. Standards could well be slipping in the rush to get things finished.
