Some foreigners here will be surprised to learn that political prisoners from Motril were sent to die in the Nazi concentration-camp of Mauthhausen.
Almuñécar Town Hall has paid homage to the five Almuñequeros who died in Nazi concentration/extermination camps during World War Two.
The left-wing party, Adelante Almuñécar, has denounced that the plaque in memory of those that perished during La Debandá has been vandalised.
The main opposition party, the PA (formerly the CA; i.e. Benavides) accuses the Mayor Trinidad Herrera of eliminating plaques bearing ex-Mayor Benavides name.
In March 2011 Almuñécar’s then Mayor, Juan Carlos Benavides erected a plaque in honour of a lawyer – suddenly, it’s gone!
