oldest tree in the city, taken down by
recent winds, the Drago or Dragon tree, was a symbol of the city and
could be found in the “Callejón del Tinte” but at a quarter to seven last night
it came down, crashing down the tree is more than 250 years old and in some
researches think that is closer to 300 and it reaches 12 meters in high. The
loss of the tree has opened a debate about the protection of heritage in the
city the Junta de Andalucia considers the tree can be replanted and recovered
territorial delegate for culture in the Junta Cristina Salcedo said the best

said that it would be forth coming. Responding to early criticism she said that
the tree has not fallen from any lack of protection by the Junta but by the
weather conditions which were difficult.
