The rural lane that leads from the top of Cotobro, up past the old rubbish dump, which links with El Pago de Guerra above La Herradura, as well as Peña Escrita, Albita and Cantalobos is having its verges cleaned.

According to José Manuel Fernández, who is the councillor for public works and the Rural Environment, four workmen, armed with heavy-duty strimmers, have been clearing the over-grown verges of this winding lane – the passing space is tight enough without encroaching bushes and shrubs.

The lane in question is 4-km long is regularly used by lorries, carrying rubble and building waste to build up the area that has been designated as the municipal scrambling track.

As well as this lane, the old loop of the N-340, which goes past the butano depot and the rubbish processing plant before joining the main road again just after the tunnel, is also having its verges cleared, as it is where the old-rubbish-tip road begins; i.e., just over the eastern entrance of the Cotobro tunnel.

All in all, the rural-lane network of La Herradura and Almuñécar are getting a good overhaul.
