Something Positive

Let’s finish off the section on a positive note, expressing approval over two projects; one that is just about complete and the other which is set to begin.

Landslide Blocks Tunnel

A landslide near the mouth of the Punta de la Mona tunnel, on the La Herradura side, caused the main road to be closed to traffic whilst it was cleared. It’s not the first time that there has been a rock-fall there; in fact, retention netting etc has only recently been erected at this entrance.

Macro Neighbourhood Committee

There are over twenty community associations for urbanisaciones in Almunecar (Almuñécar) and La Herradura, but now twelve of them have joined forces to form a single federation of ‘comunidades’ known as the Federación de Presidentes de Urbanizaciones del Poniente [western] de Almuñécar.

On The Move

Returning to the subject of land movement, we come to the Marina del Este… Rains at the end of last year and the beginning of this one have had a negative effect on the stability of the terrain – which is hardly surprising, is it?

World Cup Trophy in Almuñécar

How would you like to get up close the the World Cup trophy? You would? Well, now’s you chance as it will be on show at the Almuñécar Casa de la Cultura on the 17th of February from betweem 17.00h to 22.00h and that’s it, so don’t miss this opportunity!

Top Tunnel

The A-7 autovia tunnel, Cantalobos has been voted the safest tunnel in Spain by the national motoring club RACC!

Going, Going, Gone!

You will have noticed that the parking spaces along C/Sánchez Chaves (along the bottom of the municipal market) have disappeared.
