‘Function Follows Form’ is the combination of 3 concepts: Postmodernism, 60’s Culture, and Sustainability. Dissymmetric, mini, and recycling are key elements to design ‘Function Follows Form’ garments. Change new form of garment to use recycing materials, and the dissymmetric form of detail, shape, and line is added to mini concept.

A rose is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae, or the flower it bears. There are over three hundred species and tens of thousands of cultivars.[citation needed] They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Their flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa.[citation needed] Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height.[citation needed] Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses.
ETYMOLOGY
The name rose comes from Latin rosa, which was perhaps borrowed from Oscan, from Greek ρόδον rhódon (Aeolic βρόδον wródon), itself borrowed from Old Persian wrd- (wurdi), related to Avestan varəδa, Sogdian ward, Parthian wâr.
BOTANY
The leaves are borne alternately on the stem. In most species they are 5 to 15 centimetres long, pinnate, with (3–) 5–9 (–13) leaflets and basal stipules; the leaflets usually have a serrated margin, and often a few small prickles on the underside of the stem. Most roses are deciduous but a few (particularly from Southeast Asia) are evergreen or nearly so.
The flowers of most species have five petals, with the exception of Rosa sericea, which usually has only four. Each petal is divided into two distinct lobes and is usually white or pink, though in a few species yellow or red. Beneath the petals are five sepals (or in the case of some Rosa sericea, four). These may be long enough to be visible when viewed from above and appear as green points alternating with the rounded petals. There are multiple superior ovaries that develop into achenes. Roses are insect-pollinated in nature.
The aggregate fruit of the rose is a berry-like structure called a rose hip. Many of the domestic cultivars do not produce hips, as the flowers are so tightly petalled that they do not provide access for pollination. The hips of most species are red, but a few (e.g. Rosa pimpinellifolia) have dark purple to black hips. Each hip comprises an outer fleshy layer, the hypanthium, which contains 5–160 "seeds" (technically dry single-seeded fruits called achenes) embedded in a matrix of fine, but stiff, hairs. Rose hips of some species, especially the dog rose (Rosa canina) and rugosa rose (Rosa rugosa), are very rich in vitamin C, among the richest sources of any plant. The hips are eaten by fruit-eating birds such as thrushes and waxwings, which then disperse the seeds in their droppings. Some birds, particularly finches, also eat the seeds.
The sharp growths along a rose stem, though commonly called "thorns", are technically prickles, outgrowths of the epidermis (the outer layer of tissue of the stem), unlike true thorns, which are modified stems. Rose prickles are typically sickle-shaped hooks, which aid the rose in hanging onto other vegetation when growing over it. Some species such as Rosa rugosa and Rosa pimpinellifolia have densely packed straight prickles, probably an adaptation to reduce browsing by animals, but also possibly an adaptation to trap wind-blown sand and so reduce erosion and protect their roots (both of these species grow naturally on coastal sand dunes). Despite the presence of prickles, roses are frequently browsed by deer. A few species of roses have only vestigial prickles that have no points.
EVOLUTION
About 50 million years ago, the first rose in the Americas were found in modern-day Colorado in the United States. Today's garden roses come from 18th-century China. Among the old Chinese garden roses, the Old Blush group is the most primitive, while newer groups are the most diverse.
SPECIES
The genus Rosa is composed of 140-180 species and divided into four subgenera:
Hulthemia (formerly Simplicifoliae, meaning "with single leaves") containing two species from southwest Asia, Rosa persica and Rosa berberifolia, which are the only roses without compound leaves or stipules.
Hesperrhodos (from the Greek for "western rose") contains Rosa minutifolia and Rosa stellata, from North America.
Platyrhodon (from the Greek for "flaky rose", referring to flaky bark) with one species from east Asia, Rosa roxburghii (also known as the chestnut rose).
Rosa (the type subgenus, sometimes incorrectly called Eurosa) containing all the other roses. This subgenus is subdivided into 11 sections.
Banksianae – white and yellow flowered roses from China.
Bracteatae – three species, two from China and one from India.
Caninae – pink and white flowered species from Asia, Europe and North Africa.
Carolinae – white, pink, and bright pink flowered species all from North America.
Chinensis – white, pink, yellow, red and mixed-colour roses from China and Burma.
Gallicanae – pink to crimson and striped flowered roses from western Asia and Europe.
Gymnocarpae – one species in western North America (Rosa gymnocarpa), others in east Asia.
Laevigatae – a single white flowered species from China.
Pimpinellifoliae – white, pink, bright yellow, mauve and striped roses from Asia and Europe.
Rosa (syn. sect. Cinnamomeae) – white, pink, lilac, mulberry and red roses from everywhere but North Africa.
Synstylae – white, pink, and crimson flowered roses from all areas.
USES
Roses are best known as ornamental plants grown for their flowers in the garden and sometimes indoors. They have been also used for commercial perfumery and commercial cut flower crops. Some are used as landscape plants, for hedging and for other utilitarian purposes such as game cover and slope stabilization.
ORNAMENTAL PLANTS
The majority of ornamental roses are hybrids that were bred for their flowers. A few, mostly species roses are grown for attractive or scented foliage (such as Rosa glauca and Rosa rubiginosa), ornamental thorns (such as Rosa sericea) or for their showy fruit (such as Rosa moyesii).
Ornamental roses have been cultivated for millennia, with the earliest known cultivation known to date from at least 500 BC in Mediterranean countries, Persia, and China. It is estimated that 30 to 35 thousand rose hybrids and cultivars have been bred and selected for garden use as flowering plants. Most are double-flowered with many or all of the stamens having morphed into additional petals.
In the early 19th century the Empress Josephine of France patronized the development of rose breeding at her gardens at Malmaison. As long ago as 1840 a collection numbering over one thousand different cultivars, varieties and species was possible when a rosarium was planted by Loddiges nursery for Abney Park Cemetery, an early Victorian garden cemetery and arboretum in England.
CUT FLOWERS
Roses are a popular crop for both domestic and commercial cut flowers. Generally they are harvested and cut when in bud, and held in refrigerated conditions until ready for display at their point of sale.
In temperate climates, cut roses are often grown in greenhouses, and in warmer countries they may also be grown under cover in order to ensure that the flowers are not damaged by weather and that pest and disease control can be carried out effectively. Significant quantities are grown in some tropical countries, and these are shipped by air to markets across the world.
Some kind of roses are artificially coloured using dyed water, like rainbow roses.
PERFUME
Rose perfumes are made from rose oil (also called attar of roses), which is a mixture of volatile essential oils obtained by steam distilling the crushed petals of roses. An associated product is rose water which is used for cooking, cosmetics, medicine and religious practices. The production technique originated in Persia and then spread through Arabia and India, and more recently into eastern Europe. In Bulgaria, Iran and Germany, damask roses (Rosa × damascena 'Trigintipetala') are used. In other parts of the world Rosa × centifolia is commonly used. The oil is transparent pale yellow or yellow-grey in colour. 'Rose Absolute' is solvent-extracted with hexane and produces a darker oil, dark yellow to orange in colour. The weight of oil extracted is about one three-thousandth to one six-thousandth of the weight of the flowers; for example, about two thousand flowers are required to produce one gram of oil.
The main constituents of attar of roses are the fragrant alcohols geraniol and L-citronellol and rose camphor, an odorless solid composed of alkanes, which separates from rose oil. β-Damascenone is also a significant contributor to the scent.
FOOD AND DRINK
Rose hips are high in vitamin C, are edible raw, and occasionally made into jam, jelly, marmalade, and soup, or are brewed for tea. They are also pressed and filtered to make rose hip syrup. Rose hips are also used to produce rose hip seed oil, which is used in skin products and some makeup products.
Rose water has a very distinctive flavour and is used in Middle Eastern, Persian, and South Asian cuisine—especially in sweets such as Turkish delight, barfi, baklava, halva, gulab jamun, kanafeh, and nougat. Rose petals or flower buds are sometimes used to flavour ordinary tea, or combined with other herbs to make herbal teas. A sweet preserve of rose petals called Gulkand is common in the Indian subcontinent. The leaves and washed roots are also sometimes used to make tea.
In France, there is much use of rose syrup, most commonly made from an extract of rose petals. In the Indian subcontinent, Rooh Afza, a concentrated squash made with roses, is popular, as are rose-flavoured frozen desserts such as ice cream and kulfi.
The flower stems and young shoots are edible, as are the petals (sans the white or green bases). The latter are usually used as flavouring or to add their scent to food. Other minor uses include candied rose petals.
Rose creams (rose-flavoured fondant covered in chocolate, often topped with a crystallised rose petal) are a traditional English confectionery widely available from numerous producers in the UK.
Under the American Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, there are only certain Rosa species, varieties, and parts are listed as generally recognized as safe (GRAS).

MEDICINE
The rose hip, usually from R. canina, is used as a minor source of vitamin C. The fruits of many species have significant levels of vitamins and have been used as a food supplement. Many roses have been used in herbal and folk medicines. Rosa chinensis has long been used in Chinese traditional medicine. This and other species have been used for stomach problems, and are being investigated for controlling cancer growth. In pre-modern medicine, diarrhodon (Gr διάρροδον, "compound of roses", from ῥόδων, "of roses") is a name given to various compounds in which red roses are an ingredient.
ART AND SYMBOLISM
The long cultural history of the rose has led to it being used often as a symbol. In ancient Greece, the rose was closely associated with the goddess Aphrodite. In the Iliad, Aphrodite protects the body of Hector using the "immortal oil of the rose" and the archaic Greek lyric poet Ibycus praises a beautiful youth saying that Aphrodite nursed him "among rose blossoms". The second-century AD Greek travel writer Pausanias associates the rose with the story of Adonis and states that the rose is red because Aphrodite wounded herself on one of its thorns and stained the flower red with her blood. Book Eleven of the ancient Roman novel The Golden Ass by Apuleius contains a scene in which the goddess Isis, who is identified with Venus, instructs the main character, Lucius, who has been transformed into a donkey, to eat rose petals from a crown of roses worn by a priest as part of a religious procession in order to regain his humanity.
Following the Christianization of the Roman Empire, the rose became identified with the Virgin Mary. The colour of the rose and the number of roses received has symbolic representation. The rose symbol eventually led to the creation of the rosary and other devotional prayers in Christianity.
Ever since the 1400s, the Franciscans have had a Crown Rosary of the Seven Joys of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In the 1400s and 1500s, the Carthusians promoted the idea of sacred mysteries associated with the rose symbol and rose gardens. Albrecht Dürer's painting The Feast of the Rosary (1506) depicts the Virgin Mary distributing garlands of roses to her worshippers.
Roses symbolised the Houses of York and Lancaster in a conflict known as the Wars of the Roses.
Roses are a favored subject in art and appear in portraits, illustrations, on stamps, as ornaments or as architectural elements. The Luxembourg-born Belgian artist and botanist Pierre-Joseph Redouté is known for his detailed watercolours of flowers, particularly roses.
Henri Fantin-Latour was also a prolific painter of still life, particularly flowers including roses. The rose 'Fantin-Latour' was named after the artist.
Other impressionists including Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne and Pierre-Auguste Renoir have paintings of roses among their works. In the 19th century, for example, artists associated the city of Trieste with a certain rare white rose, and this rose developed as the city's symbol. It was not until 2021 that the rose, which was believed to be extinct, was rediscovered there.
In 1986 President Ronald Reagan signed legislation to make the rose the floral emblem of the United States.
Pests and diseases
Wild roses are host plants for a number of pests and diseases. Many of these affect other plants, including other genera of the Rosaceae.
Cultivated roses are often subject to severe damage from insect, arachnid and fungal pests and diseases. In many cases they cannot be usefully grown without regular treatment to control these problems.

Shape is an area enclosed by a line. It visually describes an object. It is two-dimensional with height and width. Shapes can be geometric with straight edges and angels, such as squares, rectangles, or triangles or circles; or they can be organic with irregular and curvilinear lines. Organic shapes are found in nature-seashells, flower petals, insects, animals, people!
Form looks like a three-dimensional shape. The object looks as if it has height, width and depth. Artists use shading to create the illusion of form. The shading indicates depth by creating shadows.
Now it's your turn to create shapes and forms.

El presidente de la Junta, Juanma Moreno, ha instado a todos los grupos a trabajar de forma conjunta y a hacer historia aprobando los Presupuestos para 2022 a los que ha definido como la llave para conseguir la recuperación económica y social de Andalucía, al mismo tiempo que ha asegurado que la puerta del diálogo está abierta hasta el próximo 24 de noviembre que se tiene lugar el debate de la totalidad.
En su comparecencia en el Debate de Estado de la Comunidad, Moreno ha pedido a todos los grupos valentía y aprovechar la oportunidad que tenemos de reconstruir lo dañado porque, según ha dicho, "tenemos capacidad, talento, equipo y estamos dispuestos a poner en marcha el mayor Presupuesto de la historia". Por ello, les ha animado a demostrar que esta comunidad es, una vez más, ejemplo, a dejar a un lado trincheras inútiles y apostar por un futuro mejor para Andalucía y los andaluces.
Así, ha anunciado que el próximo 3 de noviembre su Gobierno presentará en el Parlamento andaluz el Presupuesto para 2022, con una cifra récord de 43.814 millones de euros, lo que supone un crecimiento del 9% respecto a las anteriores cuentas, esto es, 3.625 millones de euros más.
"Es el presupuesto de la recuperación y no puede haber excusa alguna ni argumento ideológico para bloquear la recuperación de Andalucía", ha agregado dirigiéndose a los partidos del arco parlamentario.
En este punto, ha destacado que será un presupuesto expansivo, social y vital para la recuperación económica y la mejora de los servicios públicos. "No será pólvora para fuegos artificiales, sino tierra fértil para las reformas que estamos sembrando". En este sentido, ha afirmado que el peso de las políticas sociales vuelve a aumentar, situándose a niveles "impensables" hace sólo tres años.
En concreto, la sanidad alcanzará el 7,4% del PIB –3.000 millones más que en 2018– y la educación, el 5,5% –1.800 millones más–. Sobre sanidad, ha especificado que quizá sea la reforma más acuciante de las que está llevando a cabo su Gobierno con casi 50.000 millones invertidos cuando acabe la legislatura y que este año vuelve a ser prioridad en los Presupuestos aumentando la cuantía en 1.100 millones hasta los 13.000. "Sin este esfuerzo, los servicios públicos y, muy especialmente el sistema sanitario, no hubieran soportado el peso de la pandemia". También se incrementa en 600 millones lo presupuestado para educación, con una subida superior al 7%.
En relación con este asunto, ha declarado que las Cuentas de 2022, que reflejan las políticas y reformas puestas en marcha por su Ejecutivo, recogen igualmente parte de los Fondos Europeos para la Recuperación, los Next Generation EU, que va a recibir Andalucía. En esta línea, ha reclamado al Gobierno de España más participación de las comunidades autónomas, al tener éstas un papel "muy insuficiente" (apenas el 34% del 50% comprometido por Sánchez), y ha criticado la imposición de forma unilateral de los planes.
"El dinero de Europa es recuperar nuestro país y nuestra tierra", ha añadido, al tiempo que ha manifestado que, hasta la fecha, la distribución efectiva en la comunidad autónoma asciende "escasamente" a 2.500 millones de los casi 70.000 del Plan de Recuperación, Transformación y Resiliencia.
Por un modelo justo de financiación autonómica
Al hilo de esto último, ha indicado que Andalucía sufrirá el próximo año un recorte añadido de los recursos del Estado, tras reducir éste el margen de déficit de las comunidades al 0,6% –mientras el Estado se reserva el 5%– y eliminar el Fondo Covid 2022. El impacto de estas dos medidas significa un recorte de la financiación para sanidad, educación y políticas sociales de 2.317 millones, "a pesar de que la Airef ha avisado de que el 40% de los gastos generados por la Covid-19 se consolidarán". Por este motivo, considera que no es sólo un ataque a la autonomía, sino una forma clara de recorte.
A estos recortes, ha seguido, se suma la infrafinanciación de Andalucía. Aquí, ha recordado que la comunidad padece un déficit de financiación que supone una pérdida diaria de 4 millones de euros, "un auténtico lastre para los andaluces", y un total acumulado que supera los 10.000 millones, y ha propuesto "pasar a la acción" para defender el interés de los andaluces. "Eso es ser andalucista. No en los discursos ni en los golpes de pecho, sino influyendo a favor de Andalucía", ha continuado.
Así, ha valorado los recientes encuentros con los presidentes de la Comunidad Valenciana, Región de Murcia y Galicia, en los que todos los dirigentes coincidían en la necesidad de reformar el actual sistema de financiación autonómica y, mientras se negocia un nuevo modelo justo, activar un Fondo Urgente de Compensación prorrogable para equiparar a las comunidades peor financiadas con la media nacional.
En este contexto, ha lamentado que todavía no haya recibido respuesta a la carta que envió el pasado 20 de septiembre al presidente Pedro Sánchez para tratar en una Comisión Bilateral los problemas de Andalucía. "Si Cataluña puede tratar bilateralmente con el Gobierno, Andalucía no va a ser menos. Andalucía no va a admitir nunca una España multinivel, que significa consolidar los privilegios y romper la igualdad entre españoles. Ya cerramos el paso una vez a la España de dos velocidades y lo volveremos a hacer", ha indicado.
Durante la comparecencia, Moreno ha insistido en que Andalucía debe perseverar en el camino de las reformas, que, a su juicio, procura mayor prosperidad, crea riqueza y empleo y permite sostener y ampliar los servicios públicos de calidad. Ejemplo es la reforma fiscal emprendida por su Gobierno en 2019, 2020 y 2021. Por esto, la comunidad ha logrado aumentar el número de contribuyentes en 119.000 y recaudar sólo por IRPF 600 millones de euros más. "De nuevo bajamos los impuestos en 2022, situándonos en el 'Top 5' de territorios fiscalmente más competitivos en España”.
Y es que, aparte de la ampliación del Impuesto de Sucesiones y Donaciones a hermanos, tíos y sobrinos, que como máximo pagarán un 45% frente al 70% que podían alcanzar hasta ahora, la Ley de Tributos Cedidos aprobada recientemente beneficiará directamente a cuatro millones de andaluces y ahorrará, principalmente, a las clases medias y trabajadoras 329 millones de euros.
"Bajar los impuestos nos hace más competitivos y deja de ahuyentar la inversión hacia otros territorios. No podemos permitir que haya ningún menoscabo de nuestra autonomía fiscal para acabar subiendo de nuevo los impuestos. No permitiremos ni un paso atrás sobre lo conseguido. Mientras sea presidente, los andaluces no volverán a sufrir un infierno fiscal", ha advertido.
Esos cimientos de libertad y confianza en Andalucía se han afianzado también, tal y como ha subrayado, con la eliminación y simplificación normativa. De hecho, Andalucía es la primera comunidad con un Plan para la Mejora de la Regulación Económica, para que la burocracia no sea un freno a la competitividad, inversión y creación de empleo. En consecuencia, ha comunicado que en noviembre aprobarán un Decreto Ley por el que se modifican 70 normas, 268 medidas de simplificación y mejora de la regulación, "convirtiendo a Andalucía en la comunidad con menor carga burocrática en su Administración”.
Gracias a todo ello, durante esta legislatura la Junta ha aprobado nueve grandes proyectos industriales y energéticos que representan una inversión superior a 2.800 millones y más de 10.400 puestos de trabajo. Y, actualmente, se están tramitando otros 14 grandes proyectos de inversión.
Además de todo esto, ha remarcado acciones que han funcionado en la creación de empleo, como la Tarifa Plana para autónomos, que ha hecho que Andalucía sea líder a nivel nacional en la creación de autónomos (561.000) y que 9 de cada 10 continúen con su actividad dos años después. O los dos grandes acuerdos con los agentes sociales para la Reactivación Económica y Social de Andalucía, que, en su opinión, han dado sus frutos al aumentar a un ritmo mayor que en el resto del país el número de empresas y de trabajadores en la comunidad.
Sin embargo, ha argumentado no poder olvidar los "nubarrones" que amenazan la viabilidad y el empleo de autónomos y empresas, cuando empiezan a recuperarse de la crisis generada por la pandemia. Se ha referido a la factura de la luz, que ha subido en un año un 44%, a la gasolina y al gasóleo, que lo han hecho un 22 y 23%, respectivamente, lo que ha provocado que muchos negocios vean hasta triplicada su factura sin que, hasta el momento, se aporte una solución.
"Por si esto fuera poco, los Presupuestos Generales del Estado vuelven a castigar a los autónomos con un incremento de las cuotas de entre 96 y 225 euros anuales, y se anuncian peajes en las autovías. Todo esto va en contra de la recuperación, como hemos visto con la modificación a la baja por parte del Banco de España y de la Airef de las previsiones de crecimiento del Gobierno de la Nación”.
El presidente andaluz, por otro lado, ha sostenido que para la recuperación de la comunidad autónoma es clave que el tejido industrial andaluz salga reforzado de la actual coyuntura económica. Así, ha dicho que el Plan Crece Industria, aprobado en agosto y que contó con aportaciones de 200 entidades, quiere que sea el germen de una Alianza por la Industria en Andalucía que verá la luz en el primer trimestre de 2022. Igualmente, ha anunciado que en noviembre su Gobierno aprobará una nueva línea de ayudas al sector, por un importe de 150 millones de euros hasta 2023.
De otra parte, su Ejecutivo está elaborando, en colaboración con las empresas, el Plan de Actuación del Sector Naval Andaluz, para apoyar la consolidación de la industria naval en Andalucía afectada especialmente por la crisis Covid, y se ha aprobado la Estrategia Aeroespacial de Andalucía 2021-2027, que prevé una inversión de 572 millones para potenciar su competitividad y mejorar su proyección internacional.
"Reafirmamos nuestro compromiso con los trabajadores de este sector decisivo, particularmente de Airbus, que tuve la ocasión de transmitirle al comité de empresa de la factoría de Puerto Real. Le he trasladado al presidente del Gobierno nuestra preocupación por el futuro de la empresa y la necesidad de aumentar la carga de trabajo. Siempre vamos a estar al lado de los trabajadores y de una industria vital para nuestra tierra”.
Relacionado con el turismo, ha reconocido el esfuerzo realizado por la Consejería de Turismo, Regeneración, Justicia y Administración Local, de la que es responsable el vicepresidente de la Junta de Andalucía, Juan Marín, por acompañar durante la pandemia a las empresas para que la marca de Andalucía como destino turístico siga siendo sinónimo de calidad, sostenibilidad y competitividad.
Para ello, se aprobó el Plan General de Turismo Sostenible de Andalucía META 2027, con una cuantía económica de 717 millones, y se puso en marcha 22 líneas de incentivos al sector, por un valor conjunto que supera los 150 millones de euros. "Nos hubiera gustado contar con mayor reconocimiento del Gobierno de la Nación a la potencia y el peso real de nuestra industria turística. Sin embargo, ni hemos logrado la rebaja del IVA turístico, a pesar de la reclamación de todo el sector andaluz, ni fuimos reconocidos como zona turística especialmente afectada por la pandemia, como sí fueron reconocidas otras comunidades autónomas”.
No obstante, ha reafirmado que las empresas y trabajadores del sector turístico tienen el respaldo permanente del Gobierno de Andalucía. "Y así lo volveré a defender la próxima semana, con el vicepresidente Juan Marín, ante los turoperadores británicos en la feria turística más importante del mundo que se celebra en Londres. Un mercado crucial para nuestros intereses", ha concluido.
Por último, ha destacado el carácter municipalista de su Gobierno y que nunca los ayuntamientos contaron con tantos recursos incondicionados. La Patrica, por ejemplo, que llevaba congelada ocho años, fue actualizada por el Gobierno del cambio al llegar y, para 2022, ha anunciado que harán una nueva subida de cinco millones hasta alcanzar los 515 millones de euros.
Sobre la deuda con los Ayuntamientos, al comienzo de la legislatura la Junta debía 180 millones y su Ejecutivo ha logrado reducirla en un 88%. También, a las 604 corporaciones locales que adeudan 145 millones a la Junta se le ha aplazado el pago para que tengan un balón de oxígeno. Además, se ha dado un papel protagonista a las entidades locales en las políticas de empleo: la iniciativa Aire ha supuesto una inversión de 115 millones en la práctica totalidad de municipios de Andalucía, lo que ha permitido formalizar 12.000 contratos.
