What exactly is going on? What exactly does the Town Hall have against car owners? Why is it going out of its way to turn people away? Is it short-sighted lunacy or something worse; more sinister? These are questions that must have crossed just about everybody’s mind at some point during the summer. Yes, the…
Credit Where Credit’s Due
by Editor •
Well, as we’re ripping into the Town Hall elsewhere in the Almuñécar section, it’s only fair that we find something nice to say about them, too. The P-4 sports facilities, which run down between the river and Avenida Principe de Asturias, are now complete and operative. Padel courts, tennis courts and other installations complete this…

New Rubbish Collection Installations
by Editor •
La Herradura’s got its first underground rubbish containers, which have been installed in the Barrio Ramblar de Espinar and in Las Maravillas Norte.
Sewage Appearance
by Editor •
It’s always the same old story: summer comes, drains overflow. The result is that locals have been complaining that sewage has been getting into the sea, which is hardly surprising as the village’s sewage network is 30 years old, and think how much extra housing has been built since it was laid down.
