The Province of Granada seems to be receiving one piece of bad news after another. First of all it was the negative from Brussels to route the Mediterranean rail-freight network via Costa Tropical, leaving Motril port without a rail connection, and then on the 26th of October, it was announced that the autovia construction between Taramay and Salobreña had seemingly ground to a halt.

Funds for The N-340

Anybody that has driven along the N-340 where it passes between La Herradura and the eastern entrance into Motril would be well aware of the state of the main road and grateful that funds have been allotted to make it both smoother and safer.
Tropico de Europa
by Editor •
The hoteliers have dug out an old term to put our section of the coast on the map, so to speak: Tropico de Europa. The problem with the term Costa Tropical is that many tourists immediately think of Central America, which is, admittedly, more logical.

Medical Musings
by Wolfgang K Piller MD •
Axel and I have frequently written about the sense and nonsense of treatments, but hardly about tests. Tests are neither a magic wand to keep you healthy, nor to detect illness. For example everybody agrees on fasting blood sugar testing, but what does a normal result say? Everything and nothing. As a single test it may be useful to screen for diabetes, but a normal test does still not exclude it entirely.
Big Flag for Almuñécar
by David Darby •
Residents of Almuñecar will have noticed all the work going on around the fountain up on La Carrera de la Concepción roundabout (just across from the bus station).
Well, the work is all in aid of Columbus Day, which is this Wednesday, and the work includes an 18m flagpole, which will be situated in the fountain and will fly a Spanish flag which will probably be about the size of a small country. They are also trying to upgrade the entrance to Cl Puerta de Granada, which is the little lane from that area going up to the church and the Casa de Cultura, which is very difficult to drive into as you have to cross in front of the traffic lights.
