The craze for underwater theme parks along the Costa Tropical is spreading because Rubite Town Hall is polishing their project for such an underwater attraction.
Yet, don’t think that this is something that they have thought up since teatime because they have been hard at it for some years, going through the red tape and feasibility and environmental studies
The planned park will cover an area of 15,000 sq/m, 14 metres off Playa de Casarones, explained the Mayor, Arsenio Vázquez, adding that to create this quasi-subaquatic museum they will have to sink, non-contaminating, decorative features.
Obviously, they have had to investigate whether these artificial wrecks and sunken classical-era, ruined-building remains will be a problem for the Environment.
The project was developed by the Universidad de Granada and the Provincial Council but everything is pending approval from some administrations, amongst them the temible Costas.
Almuñécar, as previously reported, has long planned to have one, which is projected to be 200 metres off the Peñón del Lobo, close to the Marina del Este, at a depth of between 15 and 25 metres.
Editorial comment: if the authorities don’t get a move on there will be no need to build an artificial park beneath the waves because coastal towns will already be down there, owing to global warming.

Did you hear the one about the golf course to be built in Rubite with Japanese investment?
What about the promise to pave all the roads leading to villages in the municipality, and then maintain them?
Waterpark? Surely you are having a laugh. Some of his constituents still rely on weekly water tankers to provide them with water. Somewhere buried in the mass of Brussels bureaucracy it says all villages in the EU should, by law, have running water. Not here. Not yet, after a 23 wait, and dozens if broken promises. Watch this space.
you could allways fill your bath put some pebbles in a little sunken treasure chest and a couple of shells and away you go dont forget your goggles though
Viva a nice nap
