news from the Costa Tropical (Granada): Almunecar, La Herradura, Motril & Salobrena

Dr. Animal

We are very pleased to announce the arrival of a new veterinary practice to the village. Situated in Calle Alhambra, opposite the town square, Dr. Animal will offer all the veterinary services you could want, and even a dog grooming service as well.

St. Patricks

Last year, the only place to be in the village on St. Patricks Day was El Ancla, and it looks like the evening of 17th March will be one to remember again.

Sports Ground Opens

Once again the Mayor turned up in La Herradura during February, this time it was for the inauguration of the new sports ground in the Las Maravillas area of the village.

Undermined?

It was back in 2004 when the Seaside Gazette reported on what appeared to be the commencement of an illegal build next to Urbanización El Gallo, Punta de la Mona.

Moan, Moan, Moan…

It never ceases to amaze me, just how often I have to sit and listen to people being critical of the Gazette, the way we cover stories, and how we represent our all important clients. Usually laced with vociferous views on how it should be written, and what we should be writing about.

Molvizar Mayor Accused

The Mayor of Molvízar has been up before the magistrate, standing accused of coercing municipal workings into voting for his party: i.e., the Partido Popular.

Ed Babysitting for March

Firstly, Héloise Nolan has been away in the UK, as well as having her work cut out for her with Costa Tropical Properties, thanks to the heavy and prolonged rainfall and its consequent pressure on property management.

E-Bureaucracy Breakthrough

Right! Let’s start with the positive news, before moving onto the Chunga News; i.e., negative news. Residents of Motril will now be able to carry out all their municipal bureaucratic tasks online, announced the Town Hall.

No Funds for Flood Defences

Now onto what’s wrong around town… The Mayor, Carlos Rojas, or ‘Charlie Red’ if you prefer, which is an embarrassing colour affiliation for a conservative, of course – has admitted that there is no proposed date for public construction work to prevent further flooding in the municipality.

Motril Taxis Rebel

Motril’s taxis are very disgruntled. In fact, whilst I was visiting Santa Ana Hospital I was stuck behind a slow moving convoy of them on my way out.
