The good folk of Molvízar are splendid farmers.. as are two Serbians who live there, because they have produced a sizeable crop of marihuana plants, bless their cotton socks.

Yes, the Guardia Civil arrested these two gentlemen, aged 48 and 42, for having applied green-fingered labour to 1,920 individual cannabis sativa plants in a greenhouse within the said municipality.

The police operation was a joint (pardon the pun) one between the G.C. posts in Almuñecar and Salobreña, who between them only have three and a half policemen, two Fred-Flintstone patrol cars and two, thread-bare blankets for long-distance visual communication – thanks to the Central Government’s tireless efforts to under-staff and under-fund this top-notch and damned-efficient police force.

Meanwhile back in Molvízar, our green-meanie mates knew that somebody was growing giggling weed in a greenhouse somewhere in the wild outbacks of Molvízar – a place where stagecoaches speed past without stopping, blunderbusses primed, and missionaries end up on Menus del Dia, if they’re lucky!

After a little investigation (read: hung upside down and soles of feet beaten) the lads with the buckled, hat brims found out that the plantation was in a semi-abandoned greenhouse in the Pago de los Palamares area, which had been rented out to a gentleman from the Balkan badlands.

So, before you could say, “I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your brains out,” the piggies on the inside were cuffed by the piggies on the outside.

And there ends a day in the life of Molvízar…
