Albox town hall, possibly in an attempt to divert attention away from the water fiasco, has announced plans to setup a registry of pets.
They will pay the Vet Guild €743,35 annually in exchange for the guild informing them of all the details of all pets chipped (which must be done by law!) in Albox. This [...]
From what I can gather in the press:
-GALASA was paid €50,000 by Albox town hall to keep the water running for at least another 30 days.
-There is still €800,000 outstanding in back water bills.
-The town hall is expected to fire GESTAGUA and replace them with GALASA as the water suppliers for the area.
-GESTAGUA, which still has [...]
After what seems to be some high level involvement, GALASA has agreed to give Albox town hall another months worth of water and not cut it off in 24 hours.
An emergency meeting of Albox town hall agreed to setup an investigation into the reasons for the nonpayment of back bills to Albox and will try [...]
GALASA, our local supplier of (somewhat murky) tap water, has announced that if the townhall of Albox does not pay it’s outstanding bill it will cut all supplies to the town (domestic, industrial, agricultural… the lot).
The dispute stems from the old arrangement, initially setup by the ex-mayor Francisco Granero [P.P. party], who used a company [...]
Hospederia Restaurante Virgen del Saliente, Albox.
The wonderful old monastery in Saliente (up above Albox, direction Velez Rubio), which is now a hotel and restaurant, has recently revamped its restaurant with a new manager, chef and menu. I haven’t been to its new incarnation but I’m told it’s wonderful.
Plus, of course, the views are to die [...]
The Spanish press never reveal the surnames of suspects arrested. Instead, in an attempt to preserve privacy while letting the readers try to guess who it is, they give out the first names and the initials of the surnames - i.e, Juan Jose P.A., 37, of Madrid. Which often makes for an interesting guessing game.
However, [...]
According to teleprensa.net Luis Caparros, the swine who knocked down the Priors house, built large scale electric pylons everywhere, gas pipes, approved the POTALA and generally ruined the area (and, by the way, got a promotion for it - he’s now the head of Housing and Territorial Organisation of Almeria) has promised, under intense media [...]
[Read full post] While pottering around in the wilds above Albox, I realised that it was lunch time. Feeling hungry, feeling lost, feeling desolate, I happened across the Travellers Inn, in Los Marcelinos.
Navigating the steep little incline down into the car park, I noticed a sign stating “English Tourist Board: 2 crowns”. No idea what that is all [...]
The Mayor of Zurgena, Candido, et al, seems to be blaming the PSOE for his recent problems with law, blaming them for a “witch hunt” due to the fact that “he belongs to another political party which has the temerity to win local elections”.
The local Guardia Civil agents arrested for passing confidential information about police [...]
The 6 people detained two days ago in Zurgena spent yesterday and today in the central police office in Almería, being interrogated by the Police. They have been arrested under for suspected “cohecho, prevariación y delitos contra la ordenación del territorio” (Bribery, misuse of public power, and crimes against the rules of local planning laws), [...]
