And talking of hotels, the one on Cotobro beach that attracted quite a bit of controversy during its’ construction will be completed and opening its doors for Semana Santa.
Hotel Playa Cotobro has 64 rooms – but if I remember correctly; insufficient basement parking for the said rooms – and is built mere metres from the beach on a 600 sq/m plot, previously occupied by a quaint chalet and its walled garden. Such is progress!
This hotel is now the eighth 4-star hotel in Almuñécar and will probably follow the great Almuñécar custom of closing when it is most needed; i.e., the winter.
During the construction of the hotel, the roman remains of a well were discovered… I say discovered although it was well documented that they existed, but there you go. After much protest, the project was altered to preserve these archaeological remains, which bumped up the building project, yet guaranteed an extra attraction for the hotel.
We can only hope that this historical public site is open to the general public, as it should be, as the hotel ceded this part of the area to the Town Hall and the Provincial Delegation for Culture.
