The Almuñécar Maintenance Department has been busy along the Camino de las Colinas de la Cruz, doing a spot of resurfacing.

This lane runs behind the cemetery and serves as access to several cortijos and sub-tropical plantations.

“With this maintenance work we want to provide better access, as the lane is a dirt track that, when it rains, turns to mud, making it dangerous to use,” explained Luis Aragón, who is the Councillor for Agriculture, amongst other posts.

The Municipal Engineer, Juan José Fernández, explained that they were putting down a 20cm-thick layer of tarmac, four metres wide, along 500 metres of track; i.e. a 2,000-sq/m surface of tarmac, costing 39,000 euros.
