Salobreña Town Hall has decided to chop down weakened palm trees that could come down in the high winds forecast for today.
The Almuñécar fire service, backed by Infoca assets, were busy towards the end of last month putting out a hill fire in the Cuesta Cordobilla/ Cantalobos above La Herradura.
The heavy rains and high winds at the end of March caused the death of a 4-year old in a Madrid park when a tree fell on him.
There was another fire on the Salobreña vega, Thursday the 20th which the fire service managed to bring under control and put out despite the blustery conditions.
Having just spent three days in the municipality of Otivar, it is now apparent how lucky locals were that on that night, last month, there were high winds.
