We managed to collar Francisco Prados, who is the leader of the local PSOE and opposition leader, concerning the Blue Zones in Almunecar.

The Plaza de Damasco, which is just in front of Caja Rural, Av. Andalucia, has had a facelift… only a year after its last one. Now, gone are the tombs-cum-marble Korans, for instance, as nobody actually seemed to like them, much less know for certain what the hell they were supposed to be.
