The Mayor of Salobreña, Mª Eugenia Rufino, was forced to activate the Plan de Emergencias because of the flooding at the beginning of this week.
The recent rainfall on the 29th/30th had the Motril firemen out and about, tackling flooding, especially between 21.30h and Midnight.
The accumulation of rainwater on the Camino del Pelaillo created an extensive area of standing water, similar to a small pond in surface area.
The Motril PA warns that the building work on the Palacios de Congresos could cause flooding problems.
On the same day that Motril saw one of its main thoroughfares flooded out, the main entrance for Salobreña disappeared under a puddle, too. …And it happens every year.
The rainfall was not particularly violent or sustained, today in Motril, but recently modified Avenida de Andalucia was completely flooded.
When the company, Blue Displays, abandoned the Almuñécar Aquarium, it was in a ruinous state. Considering that it had only been built five years previously, it was just as much shoddy original construction work, as insufficient maintenance.
We just had a press release from the Salobreña Town Hall concerning the flooding caused by the recent rains.
