Visitors to and residence of the Marina del Este on the Punta de la Mona can now use the main access road from the N-340 without fear of falling into a pit now that roadworks have concluded. The earth subsidence just before Christmas Eve 2009 near El Gallo destroyed the back road behind the hotel and seriously undermined the main thoroughfare.
Around the same time, people from the village will remember the rock fall that cut the road just above Chambao Joaquim. This more disruptive earth movement was rectified within the month, whereas the one behind the hotel has languished until this summer, before repair work began.
