People in the old part of the village were pretty browned off (annoyed) over the amount of weed growing along footpaths and steps. Some of he weeds growing on the steps on La Cuesta de Fray Leopoldo were big enough to trip somebody up as they descended these steep steps.

Consequently, locals living there have been demanding that this general lack of maintenance be rectified before the summer arrived.

Some of the older inhabitants of the area put the abundant growth of weed down to the fact that nobody keeps goats in the old town anymore. So, it appears that you either have a choice between negotiating between weeds or goat droppings.

Weeds in the riverbed – from Barrio del Espinar right down to the beach – are pretty boisterous as well. Things in the riverbed are made worse because the municipal maintenance workers have simply dumped all the cuttings from palm trees and plants from their last blitz into the riverbed, as well.
