Demonstrators bearing wreaths, a "coffin" and placards mourning the death of Xàbia Old Town began their march near the Post Office and gathered outside the Town Hall to coincide with the monthly plenary Council meeting. A representative read a letter explaining that seven months ago the Council had approved a ten point plan including moving the Thursday market back to the Plaza de la Consitución and demolishing the so-called "city wall" on on the Principé de Asturias. Nothing had happened.

They also complained that new works undertaken through the State funded projects to counter the economic crisis were again affecting the Old Town as well as the Port and Arenal. One resident said: "we are not interested in politics or politicians, because they mean trouble and we want to live a quite life."
