The first thing to remember is that although this is a breakdown on how people voted in our coastal towns, it is not the results of municipal elections.

People vote differently at the voting booths when it comes to Municipal and National Elections. However, it is indicative of how the upcoming local election might turn out.

Almuñécar

Until now the PP under Trinidad Herrera had been the most-voted party in the municipality but in these 28th April ones they fell to third place with the PSOE taking first slot, followed by centre-right Ciudadanos. The far-right Vox came in fourth with Unidos Podemos falling behind to fifth position.

In terms of percentages: PSOE 29.1%, Ciudadanos 20.9%, PP 20.4%, Vox 15.4% and UP 11.1%.
In terms of votes received: PSOE 3,654, Ciudadanos 2625, PP 2,564, Vox 1,928 and UP 1,394.

Motril

The PSOE cruised in taking a third of cast votes and top slot. Well behind in second spot was the PP followed by Ciudadanos and then Vox and then Unidos Podemos. The difference between 4th and 5th place was only 0.7%.

In terms of votes received: PSOE 9,724 PP 5,263 Ciudadanos 4,687, Vox 4,247 and UP 4,039.
In terms of percentages: PSOE 33.5%, PP 18.1, Ciudadanos 16.1%, Vox 14.6% and UP 13.9%.

Salobreña

A traditionally left-voting town, the PSOE and UP between them received half the votes cast. A battered PP came in third followed by Ciudadanos. In the case of Salobreña, Vox was left out of the top-four slots and came in 5th.

In terms of votes received: PSOE 2,575 UP 1,082 PP 941 Ciudadanos 907 and Vox 762.
In terms of percentages: PSOE 39.8%, UP 16.7% PP 18.1, Ciudadanos 14%, and Vox 11.8%.

We will endeavour to provide our readership with results from Jete, Otivar, Lentegí, Molvízar, Ítrabo, and Vélez Benaudalla. As for voting in La Herradura, they were included in the Almuñécar figures as they belong to the same municipality.
