There is a strong possibility that La Herradura may have its very own Tapas Fair, in the Plaza Nueva, sometime towards the end of September.
New Junctions
by David Darby •
Work continues on the new access road between Cuesta del Marchante and the San Antonio roundabout, which will give much better access to the N-340 from the Peña Parda end of the bay, and will help drivers to avoid those pesky multas as well the possibility of getting wiped out whilst trying to illegally cross the road on a bend.
Local Works Progress
by David Darby •
By the time this edition reaches your news-hungry mitts, work should have started on La plaza San José here in La Herradura.
According to the Town Hall, the project, which starts on September 1st, will substantially improve the roads with historical type road signs.
