The famous 'Casa Acantilado' (cliff house) or 'Casa del Dragón' (dragon house) in Salobreña, on Granada province's Costa Tropical, which has been featured in programmes about luxury homes and unique architecture, is up for sale. Its price is not for all budgets but, considering the qualities and design, it is viewed as one of the Costa Tropical's architectural icons. The house was available for holiday rental, but now it is for sale. Its price: 1.5 million euros. It is built into the mountain, which means that it offers an average temperature of 20C all year round and offers spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea. The 'dragon house' has nothing to do with the famous HBO series which came out after it was built. Instead it is thanks to the zinc tiles that resemble dragon scales which play with the geometry and give the effect on the roof. This unique villa, designed by Gilbartolome Architects, has attracted the attention of international companies such as the BBC and Netflix. It has a plot of 725m², of which 206m² are built on, with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. According to Costa Tropical Real Estate, which is listing the property, "the exterior design of the house features curves that, from different perspectives, resemble a dragon emerging from its lair or the waves of the Mediterranean Sea". This "exceptional structure" is not only aesthetically impressive, but also perfectly adapted to the steep 42-degree slope on which it was built. The specialised portal explains that the interior of the villa has been designed to maximise the sea view. The common areas, including the kitchen, dining room and living room, are arranged in a cascade, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of an amphitheatre, "where the spectacle is the view of the sea itself". On the upper floor there are three bedrooms, each with sea view and private balcony. There are two bathrooms on this level, one with a bathtub and the other with a shower. The property is equipped with a private infinity pool, which blends in with the surroundings and also looks over the sea. Registered office Málaga, Avda. Dr. Marañón, 48.

causing problems for the authorities along Granada province's Costa Tropical in the south of Spain This year the incidents have moved from Almuñécar-La Herradura to Motril where several incidents have already been reported due to the misuse of these watercraft on San Cristóbal beach in Almuñécar the Guardia Civil had to intervene from the air with a helicopter and fined three individuals for the inappropriate use of jet skis as they were also close to other bathers in unauthorised areas The Guardia Civil together with the Local Police are launching a prevention campaign aimed at all jet ski users with the aim of providing clear information on correct and incorrect uses This initiative aims to reduce accidents and promote a responsible and safe use of jet skis during the summer season checks will be carried out on the various companies offering jet ski rental services to ensure compliance with the regulations in force Measures will also be implemented to control the access of these jet skis to the beaches thus guaranteeing the safety of swimmers in the area Almuñécar-La Herradura town hall will continue to monitor beaches with drones that can report incidents to the Guardia Civil "This action has been brought forward from last year and will continue until September," explained Lucía González informative signs will be installed on the beaches for users of these boats work is being carried out to mark the beaches so that there are no further incidents municipal authorities have limited powers to "curb" inappropriate use of these vehicles They have shown their opposition to nuisance jet skis that are not affiliated with companies that operate legally in the area The companies responsible for renting jet skis play a crucial role in mitigating the problems These companies strive to educate users to comply with the rules so that there are no incidents a leading water sport company in Almuñécar The profile of those who demand these services generally includes groups of friends and couples This company offers both guided tours and free rental of jet skis provided that users have the corresponding watercraft licence A 66-year-old woman was injured when a dog attacked her in Salobreña The incident occurred on the afternoon of Sunday 12 May when the woman was walking her own dog in the Matagallares countryside which was on its own on the road bit the woman's right arm several times A couple who happened to be in the area at the time managed to get the dog away from the woman by hitting the dog with a stick The animal fled and the woman was treated at the local health centre She is having treatment for her injuries and recovering well She reported the incident to the Guardia Civil on Monday Several residents have reported the frequent presence of the dog in Matagallares which has a collar The local Platadorma para la Defensa de la Seguridad (platform for the defence of safety) has warned local residents who frequent the cota 200 area of the road to exercise caution until they locate the animal With the arrival of the warm weather and the start of the summer season town halls are once again warning people about the dangers of jumping into the sea from rocks including Salobreña in Andalucía's Granada province the activity is forbidden and carries hefty fines for anyone caught doing it despite the warnings there are still those who think it’s OK but it's very dangerous," says a beach-goer who watches them from the shore "It's very scary because under the water the rocks are very sharp," adds the beach lifeguard Jumping from El Peñón is a high-risk activity and a ‘non-sport’ that Salobreña town hall is trying to discourage with fines of up to 3,000 euros "It's a good measure to put a lot of people off but I don't think it's enough to stop everyone from jumping," says another of the people on Salobreña beach who follow the young jumpers' progress with some trepidation "The highest is 28 metres and then there is a long pole from which you can jump from 32 metres" You can't see where the rocks end and you can hit yourself against one as you fall" the town hall will have to rely on common sense to realise that jumping into the sea from the rocks is just plain dangerous Hundreds of walkers taking part in the annual ‘Desbandá’ remembrance walk arrived at the bridge over the Guadalfeo river in Salobreña on Sunday to remember the victims of the massacre of 1937 was unveiled to honour the memory of the victims On 8 February 1937 thousands of civilians lost their lives during bombings along the Malaga to Almeria road as they fled Malaga city after the arrival of Franco’s troops during Spain’s Civil War The event was attended by the mayor of Salobreña the provincial deputy for historical memory Fátima Gómez and the sub-delegate of the central government in Granada One survivor who attended the unveiling said "Although I have no memories because I was only six months old I do have to recognise the courage of those families and women with children.” The Monument to the victims of 'La Desbandá' was designed and made by José Galisteo Salobreña town hall is making progress with its plan to pedestrianise the old town and has created a one-way system to avoid traffic jams The problem of parking and congestion has often given rise to problems between residents and visitors in its narrow streets and due to a lack of parking spaces The latest project has been to install signposts and arrows that have turned Calle Ladera de la Cruz into a one-way street The council wants to make life in the old town easier for its residents and put a stop to the exodus of people selling up and moving including extending the bus service to weekends during the summer and installing signage to discourage visitors from driving into the town a special plan for the protection of historic centres was drawn up and a commission was set up which took measures to gradually reduce traffic and introducing improvements without affecting tourism Traffic has been a big problem in Salobreña for many years There is limited parking and its narrow streets mean that driving through the town is not easy the old town is protected by the regional government as an important site of Andalusian Historical Heritage and the castle walls are an Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC) This means that any house renovations are prohibited and this has led to many residents trying to sell their properties The council wants to modify the planning law so that renovations are not impossible and that the old town is not completely abandoned The revision of the town’s general urban plan (PGOU) although not a pressing issue for the council For the last five years green patches have been appearing in the sea off Salobreña this year they appear to be back with a vengeance and not only in Salobreña; they have also been spotted this week off Playa de la Guardia Bathers are worried that the patches could be toxic and are calling on the town halls to analyse them but municipal biologists claim that they are probably the remains of algae and other marine microorganisms who has spent "almost all her life" holidaying in Salobreña said that she got up early on Monday (25 July) to swim precisely because the water is not usually cloudy at this time of day but from her balcony she could already see that the green “bland blob” that she’d seen on Sunday afternoon had extended along “the whole shoreline” "There is no way to get around it and few dare to go into the water It's a real eyesore." Carolina went on to say "From the start of summer the water gets cloudy from midday onwards At other times it's clear that it's sewage Other residents have also reported the presence of the green patches to the various councils' environmental departments and another resident contacted Granada province’s IDEAL newspaper to report the problem "Nobody can tell us if it is toxic or what is happening they tell us that they do analyses but we never know the results" In fact residents are evening considering organising a protest to demand that the town halls do something about it said that they have called the tourist office several times to warn bathers that the water is a "strange" green colour and that they would be contacting the Mancomunidad de Municipios - the body that oversees the Costa Tropical’s local authorities; to see if they will take samples The newspaper has contacted the town council and the Guardia Civil but has not yet received a response German-born artist Lotta Leon is exhibiting her latest collection of abstract and semi-abstract works that present her impressions of Andalucía - Fantasías Andaluzas - at the cultural centre in La Cala de Mijas from Friday 1 to Monday 18 March The former teacher of philosophy and literature especially the cultural heritage of the Moors The artist says she is guided by an “animistic view of the world” and many of her works

range of fields from construction to hospitality and even include positions for receptionists and concierges National Geographic magazine has lauded Salobreña as one of Granada’s most stunning towns a fact that the town’s white-washed buildings and commanding castle views readily affirm It’s this backdrop that sets the stage for an array of job vacancies aimed at bolstering the town’s appeal to

from various backgrounds Granada province in the Andalucía region is home to the most dangerous stretch of road in Spain according to the 'Evaluation of the State Road Network' report prepared by the Royal Automobile Club of Spain (RACE) and based on data from the period 2020-2022 According to the report it is a 17.8 kilometre section of the N-323 national road which is located between kilometre points 172.5 and 190.3; this corresponds to the route between the junction with the A-346 to Ugíjar near the Rules dam and the town of Vélez de Benaudalla and the point at which the road joins the GR-14 a total of five major accidents were recorded resulting in one fatality and four serious injuries this is not the stretch of road in Granada with the highest gross road accident figures There is another which appears on the list published by the motorists' club: a 16 kilometre stretch on the N-340 the national road which links the Granada province with Almeria It is located between kilometre points 312.9 and 328.9 between Almuñécar and Salobreña and which continues almost until meeting the aforementioned section of the N-323 which resulted in two fatalities and up to 11 seriously injured The average daily traffic intensity of traffic on the N-323 is just 2,140 vehicles while on the road to Almería the figure is almost five times higher the researchers point out that the higher the concentration of accidents in places with a lower volume of traffic established by the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) is used to carry out this type of study in most European countries the 17.8 kilometre stretch of the Bailén-Motril road exceeds the value of 90 for the risk index (RI) which makes it one of the eight of these characteristics that the study indicates in the whole of Spain The IR value in the 2020-2022 period climbed to 119.9 points Although this stretch of road has already appeared in previous reports its risk level has escalated significantly in recent years: for example in the 2017-2019 period the risk index was 36.8 points Since then it has increased more than threefold there were at least two serious accidents in the vicinity of this stretch of road involving motorcyclists One motorcyclist was killed and the other two were injured The TimesFarmhouse conversion or cave house rural tower or the beachfront villa of a celebrity chef The second largest region

compared with summer 2023 The yellow flag and jellyfish signal to warn beachgoers hasn't been raised so far this summer and fewer than 10 stings have been treated at each lifeguard post there have been only 60 lifeguard interventions in total compared to 251 last year the summer of 2018 holds the record when more than 3,000 stings were treated the Red Cross has participated in 61 actions compared to the 279 in which it collaborated in the same period last year the first aid services acted in 231 jellyfish stings compared to seven this summer the presence or absence of jellyfish is due to several factors The winds displace the superficial layer of the water (due to the coriolis effect and the Eckman's spiral) that drags the jellyfish and also remains of rubbish to the shores currents have not been favourable to their proliferation or reproduction this year The species most frequently observed on the coast is the 'Pelagia noctiluca' pink creature with eight tentacles that it uses as a net to capture its food a rare jellyfish in the Mediterranean that can weigh up to 40 kilos has not been spotted this year either It first appeared on the Spanish coasts in 2012 and even then there was no photographic evidence to confirm its presence The first sightings of this species occurred in Murcia It is translucent white with purple tones and it has long tentacles that are grey and the ends They can reach a length of between two and three metres they have numerous mouths and feed on plankton Rhizostoma luteum has a special feature compared to other jellyfish: it can live with other organisms There are fish that live among its tentacles or in its umbrella-like body but they are not as painful as some smaller species of jellyfish From the 10th to 14th of September in

However, this year the situation ahead of the busy summer season is uncertain. It has rained, but not enough. Guaranteeing domestic supply of the limited water reserves is a priority for an area whose population triples in July and August and this is why some town halls are expected to keep the beach showers turned off this summer. In the province's most popular tourist resort, Almuñécar-La Herradura, environment and beaches councillor Lucía González explained that the most likely scenario is that the showers will not be available due to the drought. Water restrictions have been in place since 2022, but up until now they have been brought in in September and more as a show of solidarity with other places that have had to impose cuts and Castell de Ferro town hall did the same. Almuñécar's local drought decree recommends not washing cars or filling swimming pools and calls for individual responsibility. In neighbouring Salobreña municipal sources told Europa Press that the footbaths would be open but that the showers would remain turned off as one of the measures that has been put in place to save water. In Andalucía as a whole other popular destinations are taking similar measures, for example in Cadiz city there will be no outdoor showers or footbaths this summer. The Mancomunidad association of town halls on the Costa Tropical launched a public awareness campaign last week. President Rafael Caballero and the manager of the local water board Alejandro Jurado said they intend to make the population aware of a responsible use of water in view of the drought situation. A number of towns on the Costa Tropical including Jete, Otívar, Letegí, Sorvilán, Polopos-La Mamola, Gualchos-Castell de Ferro, Rubite, Albondón and Albuñol have already been warned that restrictions are likely. This does not mean that restrictive measures will be taken just yet, but the agency will continue to study the situation of each place. 1) 0ms;transition:fill 200ms cubic-bezier(0.4 0.25);}@media (min-width: 584px){.css-1fpg759.MuiTypography-root{font-size:24px;}}.css-8irkfm{margin:0;font-family:"Ambit","Helvetica","Arial","sans-serif";font-weight:400;font-size:18px;line-height:24px;color:#000000;}.css-8irkfm.MuiTypography-root{text-align:center;color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:500;font-size:18px;line-height:28px;display:inline-block;text-shadow:0px 4px 4px rgba(0 0.25);}@media (min-width: 584px){.css-8irkfm.MuiTypography-root{font-size:24px;}} From peaceful retreats in beautiful natural settings to lively locations in the heart of the action our hotel holidays guarantee a holiday to remember .css-1uuxnr9{margin:0;font-family:"Ambit","Helvetica","Arial","sans-serif";font-weight:400;font-size:18px;line-height:24px;color:#000000;}Salobreña PLUS add our nationwide return chauffeur service for just £95 - LIMITED TIME ONLY* After almost 70 years of helping people discover the world we’ve learned a thing or two about hotel holidays to give you the memorable experience you deserve From choosing hotels in the best locations to making sure they meet our exacting standards we fine-tune our stays based on what guests like you tell us they want most So whether you want to unwind with a cocktail by the pool or explore on your own or with a tour guide you’ll have the freedom to spend your time as you please nodding palms and deliciously warm winter temperatures… If you’re going on a Tailor-Made Travel holiday, the inclusions will be based on the holiday you choose.

end all rum-ambassadoring lead the way for our three-day rum edutainment sneak peak A term he has coined as he educates in and celebrates the resurgence of rum and rum culture… Ian is a lover of all things rum (even rum raisin ice cream – yes I had to ask) and owner of Cottons Jamaican in Camden and founder and faithful leader of The Rum Experience his all inclusive rum venture that has seen him travel the world doing what he loves most: tasting rum and educating others about this spirit that often brings people together in the best possible way No “mothers ruin” was ever used to describe rum (sorry gin reapers out there) and when you think of rum it probably evokes feelings of warm fuzzies Everyone has had that first brush with rum that first experience that is usually followed with a laugh and a giggle With the leadership and organisation of Ian Burrell, in collaboration with Montero Rum, The Rum Experience University hits Motril this September to educate people on the much-loved spirit and get the spot light on the much-deserved Costa del Ron It’s a five-day intensive course offering a one-stop shop for rum education and the opportunity to gain a recognised diploma This is for professionals and rum enthusiasts alike Students will experience excursions that include the history and making of rum plus how to make a world class cocktail and hear amazing key note speakers like cocktail historian Anastasia Miller and World Tiki Authoritative Jeff “Beachbum” Berry Spaces are limited and the course costs £899 but what is included makes this an even sweeter deal than it already is Over the course of three days I got re-acquainted with my college tipple and learned just how sophisticated yet joyous this spirit really is enter rum and 7 Up served in a wine glass for

throwing in a kiwi here and mango there whilst pairing rum with various local dishes but I find it’s the rum that does the best job rum lovers are a connected passionate fan base and boy do they have a good time The Montero family has also created The Rum Route taking place in and around Motril in August Explorers following the trail will experience rum and food pairings from some hip and happening venues in and around the area You’re really spoilt for choice with excellent meats and local Spanish dishes on offer at various locations; but these few opened their doors wide giving us a rum royal treatment (they are a passionate bunch in those parts) Restaurante El Zarcillo (where we were introduced to everyone’s new favourite rum and 7 Up) Hoyo 19 beach bar (where Ian Burrell went behind the bar to create some Kiwi deliciousness complete with Dinner at Despensa de la Alpujarra for typical Spanish Tapas Adjoining the restaurant is a very authentic delicatessen with immense cheese selection and hanging Jamon complete with trotters it was so tasty that my new friend T (rum has a way of bringing people together) actually purchased a full leg with trotter and transported it back to London for an upcoming party She also vowed to pair it with a signature rum cocktail for her guests Next was post-dinner drinks at Flanagan’s and Belle Epoque where the laughs were louder and the jokes were cruder our rum education included the Montero distillery – a sight to behold – not that I am very well-versed in distilling anything massive vats of some liquid that I assume becomes rum we met the master blender who everyone hugged for creating such tasty memories and hit up a sugar cane field and the bottling plant with their new – and rather lovely – celebratory anniversary labels We rounded out the edutainment with delicious food and drink at Los Moriscos Soho Lounge and a fabulous good bye lunch at Oleaje – armed with a new take on Spain and I highly suggest everyone gets in on the taste – or takes a trip down to Motril next time you’re heading to Spain travel lover or simply enjoy a bit booze on your hols there’s a lot to discover and fun to be had on the rum
