New plot

ble via the MA‐5105.

The council plans to use this area for a vari‐ety of purposes, including romería traditional religious processions, a nature centre, and parking spaces. The new recreational space will also serve as a scenic spot for tourists to visit.

ALMUÑECAR has asked the Spanish government to spend money on breakwa‐ters on the Cotobro beach rather than throwing mon‐ey at sand regeneration from the Rio Verde bed.

Mayor, Ruiz Joya, has also demanded that the break‐water of the water park and the breakwater of Fuentepiedra and Pena Par‐da be repaired.

The mayor confirmed: “The sand on Cotobro Beach is carried away by storms from the west and east and will continue to do so if the breakwaters are not built.”

Ruiz Joya explained: “If there were a storm tomor‐row, all the work that is be‐ing done today with sand regeneration and all the money that is being invest‐ed today would be lost.

“The Spanish government should stop patching things up and throwing taxpayers’ money in the trash and once and for all do what they have to do which is to rebuild the park’s breakwa‐ter aquatic, and breakwa‐ters in Cotobro and Pena Parda.

The residents of Frigiliana can look forward to a beautiful and spacious recreational area that will serve as a hub for various events and activities. With this new plot of land, the council says it has shown its dedication to local resi‐dents and taken another step towards provid‐ing a better quality of life in the town.

“It is unthinkable, in a tourist municipality like Al‐muñecar, at the end of April, we are throwing land on the beach that is going to be absolutely useless.”
