Costa Tropical east of Motril
There was no political colour behind the meeting at the offices of Aecost in Motril: everybody present had one purpose in mind; protect and promote Costa Tropical.
The business sector, workers unions, farmers – you name it – one by one they put their names to a document that has now been passed on to every town hall on the coast for signatures of their mayors, as well.
Something at last is happening along this long-delayed, problem-beset stretch of the A-7, even if it only involves paperwork.
The ecologist group, Buxus has described the recent Gualchos, mountain-brush fire as an ‘ecological disaster.’ The group condemns the fact there have been 20 attempts to set the area alight in recent years.
This relatively small earthquake occurred at 13.14 on Monday the 20th, under the sea in front of Abuñol.
One hundred hectares of mountain shrub went up in flames near Gualchos on the 19th, making it the largest incident of its kind in the province of Granada this year.
It is now clear why the provincial office of the PSOE was against the Almunecar PSOE councillors voting against the Benavides’s party – there were succulent ‘second prizes’ to be had.

The owners of chiringuitos along the Costa Tropical continue to chew their fingernails over their future. A positive outcome appears closer, but far from certain.
Perhaps the classic AC/DC number can best sum up where the A-7 peters out into the N-340… Highway to Hell.
More or less since the late spring the eastern coast of Andalucia, including the Costa Tropical, has been receiving dozens of illegal immigrants in desperate conditions striving to reach land – undetected.
