Silent Nights
STARTING July 1, the Almuñécar Local Council has implemented a traffic restriction on the Prieto Moreno promenade, also known as La Caletilla. This measure, effective from 11 pm to 7 am, aims to reduce nighttime noise during the busy months of July and August. The local government decided to enforce this ban to mitigate noise pollution as per a report from the Sustainability Department.
Only authorised vehicles, residents with garage access, and emergency vehicles can use this route during restricted hours. Additionally, from July 1 to August 31, parking regulations are reinforced on the seafront promenades of Almuñécar and La Herradura. Improved signage and payment options via the ‘parkinglibre’ app have been introduced to streamline the process. This seasonal parking regulation ensures residents and visitors better vehicle rotation and convenience.

Zero waste
AXARAGUA has completed a project to achieve zero waste at the Torrox wastewater treatment plants, using 1.3 hm³ of reclaimed water. The works costing €50,000 were completed within a month.
The project, announced by Jorge Martín, President of Axaragua, alongside CEO Daniel Cívico and Torrox Mayor Óscar Medina, involved installing a new pumping station to connect the Manzano and Iara plants via a 5 km pipeline. This ensures all reclaimed water is used for irrigation, benefiting five local farming communities.
Martín emphasised the importance of collaboration with local administrations and communities to safeguard natural resources and support agriculture. He also highlighted the €55 million invested by the Junta de Andalucía in hydraulic works in Axarquía, which provides 19 hm³ of reclaimed water annually. Mayor Medina praised the public-private collaboration essential for local agriculture, which will significantly benefit from a reliable water supply in Axarquia.
