Greenhouse Clearance
by Héloïse Nolan •
Greenhouses are being cleaned out ready for the next crops to be planted and the agricultural treatment plant in Motril has provisionally closed due to … yes, you guessed it, the intense rains that we have been having this year.
Beached?
by Héloïse Nolan •
Beaches … what beaches? As the Easter holidays approach, the Town Hall has suddenly realised that they are going to get a whole bunch of tourists into the area but the beaches in the area, especially in Playa Granada/golf course, aren’t there any more!
Legal Aid
by Héloïse Nolan •
The Motril School of Lawyers have recently announced that any person with limited resources will be able to contact them for assistance. Any citizen of Motril or its municipalities who wishes to speak to a lawyer can now contact them on 958 824 956 to make an appointment between 09:00 and 15:00 hours. You’ll obviously need to speak Spanish or have someone with you who does and will need to prove you would qualify for this service.
Boat Booty
by Héloïse Nolan •
The Guardia Civil recently intercepted a boat three miles off the coastline of Motril, whose occupants were clearly up to no good on their arrival. Firstly, one of the occupants of the boat (which was called Wiwi and flying a Gibraltar flag), was thrown out of the boat into the icy waters followed quickly by an inflatable boat.
Beetle Bother
by Héloïse Nolan •
The Escarabajo (red beetle) has now well and truly got its clutches into the Washington palm trees on the coast and has set off an alarm signal from the Agricultural Department of Parks and Gardens in Motril. It appears the situation with regard to these little monsters destroying palms has now been declared to be at a level of ‘uncontrollable.’
Esplanadas Revamp
by Héloïse Nolan •
Building works will start shortly on the Esplanadas in the centre of Motril. Just as the Avenida de Salobreña has been opened up again after remodelling at huge cost and inconvenience to the residents, shopkeepers and visitors to the town, the 600 approx people living on the Esplanadas are to be subjected to yet more months of dust, early morning drilling and general hell on earth
New Commercial Centre
by Héloïse Nolan •
A battalion of bulldozers have arrived and taken up residence next to the Alcampo supermarket. At last, after six years of negotiations between the Town Council and the Bolgaris Company, Motril is to get the new commercial and leisure complex it so rightly deserves and badly needs.
Rum Time
by David Darby •
Me and the Ed went with a bunch of ne’er-do-wells (The Royal Navy Association), to the Ron Montero S.L. bodega, in Motril. The owner Mari Helena, who both Martin and myself knew in another life about 30 years ago, showed us round. A lovely lady, she gave an extremely informative talk on how the rum is made, and the interesting history of the sugar can business in our area… for example, did you know that all that talk about how good Jamaican rum is?
Avenida de la Alpujarra
by Editor •
As Vanessa has mentioned above, the road works on Lanjarón’s main street continues to drag on in waterlogged obstinacy. The barrage of rain is an obvious reason for this delay, although if rain stopped work in a place with a climate like the UK, nothing would ever get built there, would it?
