When it was first announced that Almuñécar was to be the home of a 7-star hotel – only the second in Europe – the announcement was met with both expectation and incredulity.
Work began towards the end of last month on the hillside where the 7-star hotel is planned, after the Town Hall gave the green light for geo-technical surveys; i.e., sinking bore holes for strata samples.
According to the building developers behind the Almunecar, 7-star-hotel project, Bahia Fenecia, despite the hold up over the licence, construction work will begin before the year is out. In fact, the problem over the licence merely put the project back by about a month, they consider.
