A Gazette reader is puzzled by political mumbo-jumbo and a lack of EV charging points in Almuñécar and La Herradura.
Dear Editor and fellow residents of Almunecar and La Herradura
In addition to The Seaside Gazette I read many local news papers and found an article on August 30, 2022, in Granada Hoy titled: “Almuñécar and La Herradura receive accreditation as a Smart Tourist Destination.” It went on to say that “The Deputy-Mayor, Delegate of Tourism & Beaches for Almuñécar aims to promote a sustainable development of tourism and “ensure the satisfaction of tourists and improve the living conditions of the population.”
First, maybe new First Councillor of La Herradura, Barbero could explain in plain simple language what he means by this mumbo jumbo, techno speak. Any help from kind readers appreciated!
Second, one of these days I will get around to maybe buying an electric car and maybe putting solar panels on my home. But, I have to ask, has anyone seen any EV charging points in La Herradura or Almunecar? Does, the long overdue market in Almuñécar have plans for EV charging stations in the underground parking area or maybe solar panels on the roof?
Mayor Juan José Ruiz Joya, certainly missed the boat and didn’t take a step forward to be part of the group of destinations at the forefront of tourism development with the newly renovated, half-empty market in La Herradura where there doesn’t seem to be solar panels on the roof or associated EV charging points.
In short, as quoted by our Mayor of Almunecar, have we made “an important step to be part of the group of destinations at the forefront of tourism development and with a future strategy based” on sustainability, accessibility, innovation and technology as backbones”? Or is it just hot air?
Intelligent comments and feedback appreciated.

Actually Warren, I havent owned a car since 2008, but as I now get tired climbing the Royal Road up to Las Maravillas and the old knees arent what they used to be I am thinking about a car. So, why not do the right thing, eh? But seriously, our politicians talk about sustainability and innovation but do government buildings and schools have solar panels? Is there an official position to promote and assist community members or community associations with sustainable energy solutions and “everything else” to reduce energy bills.
wind your necks in I Bet no one was thinking about electric cars and everythin else thats goin on today when they fell in love and took the steps to live where they live

In reply to Mr. Storey’s post, I would venture that the “pledges / promises” he refers to are not, in fact, emanating from a moving mouth, but rather a part of the antamony situated somewhat further south.
Look. They talk the talk. But cannot walk the walk.
I promise this. I pledge that.!! ?
Now if they were to be financially accountable for all the things. They think we want to hear. Up to and beyond having to sell their casas or side line businesses. Then perhaps they would choose their pledges or promises or supa duppa ideas. More carefully. !?
How do we know when a politician is fibbing. The mouth is moving and pledges/promises are coming out. !!
