Now it’s Calle Arcos del Ingenio‘s turn in Almuñécar’s San Sebastian to have its ‘plumbing’ sorted out. Calle Arcos runs a total of 134 metres and joins Calle Chirimoya to Calle Trapiche.

Last year, Calle Guayaba and Chirimoya got the treatment, you might remember.

Anyway, just under 130,000 euros is budgeted for the works, which includes sorting out the surface. The funds are coming from the Plan Fomento al Empleo Agrario; in other words, funds that should be spent on countryside infrastructure, not urban areas.

In a recent article about works being carried out in the Motril town centre we pointed that Motril was not the only Town Hall to use these funds in this way – now you have an example over here in Almuñécar.

Apart from resurfacing Calle Arcos del Ingenio, the underground utility system will be overhauled: sewage, rain drains, electric mains, telephone and water mains.

Once the underground infrastructure is sorted out and the surface laid with brick-like cobble stones, the street will receive litter bins and bollards.

The time scale for completion is estimated at three months – it wasn’t mentioned if these were Earth months or Jupiter months, which last several Earth years…

Joking aside, the work on the street connecting Calle Trapiche to the Otivar road has been dragging on and on, yet it is a relatively short street. One wonders whether just ‘symbolic’ banging around has been going on for the last few week, while the majority of the work squad are working elsewhere….
