In an article I wrote the other day I mentioned that I thought that having a national budget in Spain might help local projects.

The article here on the Ideal site confirms that local government has requested funding for 6 projects. Valued at a total of around 22 million euros.

I guess we will have to wait and see what funding gets approved.

Watch out when you are driving down the hill in to Almerimar today. It is a nightmare according to Jacqui.

The roadworks in Calle Alcor appear to have now moved to "the hill". With a queue of traffic trying to enter Almerimar.

Hopefully the new drains will be put in and covered up pretty quickly.

Plus the police were doing checks on all drivers entering Almerimar. At the Velas Blancas roundabout. I guess that part of it is a good thing!

Thanks to a shy friend for passing this photo he took on to me.

The article here on the town hall website was publish earlier this week.

It appears that there is some new drainage being installed in Calle Alcor at the moment.

The workmen started at the Velas Blancas roundabout and are slowly working their way along from there. At present the roadworks are in front of the first and second blocks of houses in La Ladera. With still some way to go until it reaches the main entrance into the urbanisation.

It is single lane traffic in both directions on the other side of part of Calle Alcor. At one point there were manually operated traffic lights in place. However at the moment you just have to wait and be careful when you go through.

I think that based on the progress so far this disruption will be there for some time. So worth trying to avoid the area if possible. Particularly at peak times.

Last night, the closest football team to us, CD El Ejido 2012, gained promotion to La Liga 2 B. This is a set of leagues that are two levels below the highest football league in Spain (La Liga).

They had a 1-1 draw with Real Jaën. Then gained promotion as they finished higher in the league table.

In other local football news. We now know that Almería will be playing Girona in the play-offs for promotion to La Liga. The other play-off is between Zaragoza and Elche. Fingers crossed the Almería does the business.

The article here on the La Voz de Almería site has the details.

UPDATED: Wednesday 3 June 2020 - 14:30 Water back on for us a couple of hours ago. With the pressure building slowly. Thanks goodness.

UPDATED: Wednesday 3 June 2020 - 08:30 I understand that most of Almerimar is OK now according to the council. However higher places in town still do not have water. As the pressure has not built back up again enough. So still problems all along Calle Alcor at the moment.

I understand that the water is cut off in the whole of Almerimar today - Tuesday 2 June 2020.

I also understand that the hope is that the issue will be resolved later today.

I have been really busy recently so have not had time to publish much on here. Today, for logistical reasons, I had to drop out of playing Friday golf. So I have found a little spare time to search for stories.

The article here on the Ideal site has some info about future archaeology stuff being orgainsed by the council. For when things return to normal around here.
