The Mayor of Almuñécar has called out the Almuñécar high-sea fleet to help clean up the debris washed up on the beaches after the rains.
The last time the Motril, Salobreña or Almuñécar received any funds from the Regional Government to help maintain their beaches during the summer was three years ago. Since then they have been making ends meet.
The Town Hall of Almuñécar and the company that holds the contract for keeping the town’s beaches clean have been busy since the heavy downpour, putting the beaches in order.
Motril beaches are witnessing the bizarre situation of having both Cruz Roja and Protección Civil staffing the beaches thanks to the hasty actions of the Town Hall.
The Asociación de Empresarios de Nerja (AEN), has congratulated the Nerja Town Hall for its collaboration and help provided during the shooting of a Bollywood production in the streets of the town.
On the 6th of August Salobreña announced that it didn’t have enough money to replace the missing or damaged wooden walkways on the beaches – such was the state of the municipal coffers. Bathers were not happy.
Did you know that the Almuñécar Town Hall spends 68,000 euros tidying up the municipalities palm trees… and we’re only talking about ones in public areas, such as parks, gardens and the beaches?
We often report on the parking problems that Almunecar has, but Motril has a parking problem where it hurts most – on its beaches; finding somewhere to park on Playa Granada is a nightmare.
And yet more local politics in the form of our new best friend, Sr. Rufino Eugenia. His latest complaint is regarding the care of the beaches in Salobreña, which play a major role in attracting tourism. He has been having another go at Sr. Gustavo Aybar, this time accusing him of conducting a ‘smear’ campaign…
Amazingly, and exhasperatingly, the Town Hall intends to extend the 11-to-11 Blue Zones to La Galera (Taramay). The reason why this is so controversial is because on this road leading to the beach Hotel Playacálida and Playa Pozuelo (Iguana) there are no shops or offices – just residential housing.
