Overview

  • After two meters of floodwater forced a nine-month shutdown, MN4 reopened its first and second floors on July 17, 2025.
  • The MN4 family group led a €10 million restoration funded by insurance payouts, a donation from Amancio Ortega and municipal assistance.
  • Anchor tenants such as Javier Baldoví’s fairground attraction resumed operations while ground-floor shops continue repair.
  • Firefighters and volunteers spent weeks clearing mud and water before formal rehabilitation works began on July 1.
  • An estimated 40 percent of local SMEs remain shuttered pending further financial support in Alfafar’s commercial sector.
