Almuñécar Town Hall says that it will spend quite a lot of dosh on improving 15 country lanes around Río Verde, Río Seco and Río Jate.
When we say a lot of dosh, we’re referring to the figure of 214,206, which, let’s face it, will get you a few beers in. Who’s paying though? The Provincial Council, because the Town Hall coffers are wheezing at the thought of trying to find 20 million that they were ordered to pay out to a building developer.
The tracks or lanes need a bit of attention because of the heavy rain experienced in the last quarter 2025 and the beginning of this year.
Companies had until the 21st of August to submit their tenders for the contract, but as yet we don’t know who bagged it.
Mayor Juan José Ruiz Joya said that the work is very necessary for those who live or farm in those areas: “We’re not talking about secondary access but ones that are used daily by families and are fundamental for our agriculture,” adding, “Our objective is to bring back safe transit and guarantee access to dwellings and farms, and leave them prepared for future heavy-rain periods.”
He rabbited on a bit more, basically pointing out that spending money on country lanes, apart from improving safety, creates equality amongst residents whether they live out in the sticks or in the centre of town.
Right, what is being spent and where: Río Verde will have 74,318 euros thrown at it to sort out the following: Loma del Gato, La Almenara, El Zahonado, Gelibra and Los Majos. The ‘sorting out’ is repairing the lane surface, stabilising embankments with retaining walls, as well as improving drainage. Most of the budget will go on the Camino del Zahonado (17,000 euros).
Regarding Río Seco, the funds allotted are 79,231 and used on the access lanes to Los Bañuelos, Río Seco, Casa Adelfas and Peña Escrita. In the case of Los Bañuelos, they’re going to reinforce about 60 metres of track that were damaged by a landslip.
Camino de Río Seco has four affected areas where the elevated drainage humps to direct rain water of the surface was washed away and some parts where the edge of the track has gone. Casa Adelfas will get a concrete retaining wall to pin a 25m-long embankment. And finally, Peña Escrita, the wall under the entrance barrier will be sorted.
Finally (desperate readers are hoping) Río Jate gets 60,656 euros for work on the Camino de Guerra, Guerra-Carrizalejo, Carrizalejo-Los Mateos, Cerval Bajo, Río Jate and Camino de la Tubería. The usual things will be repaired or built, including drainage systems, retaining walls, so that future heavy-rain events can be dealt with without too much damage caused.
Whilst all this work is going on, the affected access lanes will be sign-posted with roadworks information. Locals will be informed beforehand when work is due to commence in their area.
