Volunteer Kitchens

My apologies to those of you who volunteered the help with the proposed project to help feed the unemployed. Deathly silence from the Town Hall.

Fair Play!

Have you heard the one about the The Mayor, Costas and a few fairground rides? Well, sit back and immerse yourself in the mud-wrestling event that is local politics.
The whole story centres around an ‘alleged’ telephone call received on the 17th March at the Town Hall from Costas, which in effect said that permission had been refused for the installation of fairground rides on the paseo for this year’s San Jose event.

Independence Day

We reported last month on the movement created by a group of young Herradureños, to make La Herradura a local autonomous entity. In other words, to break free from Almuñécar and have it’s own Town Hall and control over a local budget. It seems that, not only has the movement gained momentum with a large number of new members, but has also attracted the attention of the four opposition parties, according to their spokesperson Juan Carlos Cacín Barbero.

Rock ‘N Roll

After writing about the undermining on the Punta, and reassuring everyone that we were not suggesting that the area was about to fall into the sea, you can imagine my shock when that big old rock on the bend just before Chambao de Joaquin, came crashing down, completely blocking the road.

Free Wine-Tasting Evenings

Here’s an idea for a nice evening – or a prelude to a great one – with an opportunity to get to know the wines of Granada. The town’s Catering College, in conjunction with the Tourism Department, is offering free wine-tasting evenings.

Social Services Strike

The social services, provided by Adhara, narrowly avoided disaster when a strike that was set for the 20th of November was called off.

Kiddies’ Event

This month I went along to an event, organised by the Lanjarón Town Hall, aimed at young children. There was face-painting, coloured-sand arrangement workshops – there was even a fun course for making bracelets out of coloured macaroni.

Still No Bus Station

The reason that there is still no bus station is, according to the Town Hall, a spot of post shuffling; or, if you prefer, councillors getting mixed up over who is supposed to be doing what on a regional level.
