Salobrena has formally approved the Old Folks Home plan in Lobres. Isabel Correa, councilwoman for the area, remarked that the plan was first touted a year ago, and has had to pass through various difficulties before it could be approved, but now finally it can go ahead which she is very happy about.

Driven by English investors, the home will be located on a plot of land of 8,000 square meters near the centre of town; funding of 7 million euros will cover the residence of 120 beds, and some 70 jobs will be created.

The residence will not be exclusive but open to all Europeans who prefer the Costa Tropical’s climate. Correa also emphasized the economic benefits of such a home. So give granny a call and tell her she’s moving!
