Almuñécar is still steering towards building a day centre for people with special needs, which will be built on the cleared ground were the Turismo Tropical complex used to stand and which is presently being used as summer parking.
The tourist accommodation complex on Playa San Cristóbal might finally reopen, after years of political wrangling, for the use of Ukrainian refugees.
The Mayor of Almuñécar was not happy about the reception given by the workers from Turismo Tropical, who were not exactly mute in their criticism.
It was back in 1988 that the publicly owned residential facilities, just down from Chinasol in Almuñécar were leased to Turismo Tropical. The idea was for the privately owned company to offer holiday accommodation for the aged and handicapped.
