You can tell that Almuñécar has a Mayor and a First Councillor for La Herradura from the village as things are getting done there.

Over a hundred pupils at Las Gaviotas junior school benefit from the school’s new gymnasium and covered area, thanks to the Junta’s Education Ministry’s Plan de Infraestructuras de 2020, which footed the bill with a budget of 410.000 euros.

This junior school has great views of the beach, mere metres away, but that very proximity hampered any effort to give the school physical-education facilities.

Now, with a 240-sq/m gymnasium and the covered area, kids do not have to leave the school premises for games activities, as it is behind the school within school boundaries.

Well, that’s one La Herradura school with a sports area sorted out but the secondary school still has its problems as it has to use a fenced-in beach installation that Costas wants to demolish.

Quoting from one of our 2018 articles: “Costas says that the sports area lacks any document that legitimises its occupation of part of the beach. They say that there had already been a non-disputable decision made for the demolition to take place in May 2016, which was put on hold whilst they considered the latest request from the Town Hall but they saw nothing new to make them change their minds.”
