A towering column of smoke not far from the A-7 where it passes through Vélez-Málaga had many drivers gawking (not recommended) and wondering what was causing it.
A small fire broke out amongst weeds and dry grass next to an A-7 viaduct over the Río Verde Valley on Saturday the 29th.
The Mayor of Motril has expressed her concern that the fire that broke out a few days ago might have been intentional. The Motril fire service says that they have reasons to believe this hypothesis.
Firemen from both Motril and Almuñécar, together with units from the forest-fire brigade (Infoca) tackled a Motril blaze yesterday
