Interesting

In their manifesto, the new Liberal Central party do make some interesting comparisons between the cost of taxes applied to different towns in the area including this one:

Comparison Bigastro Jacarilla Cox Benejuzar
IBI (council tax) 350€/year 185€/year 285€/year 285€/year
Waste collection 140€/year * 48€/year 61€/year 48€/year
Average car tax 120€/year 98€/year 72€/year 76€/year
Nursery places 110€/month N/A N/A 27€/month

and go on to ask; “why do we have to pay higher taxes than the rest of the region?” and quote these examples of a family with a flat in the centre of the town that own two cars.

Bigastro under the PSOE Bigastro under the UNPLC Jacarilla Cox Benejuzar

730€/year

365€/year

331€/year

428€/year

436€/year

I have no doubt that the other parties will dispute those figures, it will be interesting to see what they come up with by way of a reply.
