Interruption to Water Supply. Update

It was originally envisaged the supply would be back on by 13000 but Galasa now inform us that the current interruption to the water supply is to be extended. The failure affects the General Network and is located under the bridge, next to the Calafa, which makes the necessary work to solve it more difficult. Sorry for the inconvenience. They are working as fast as they can to finish as soon as possible.


They now estimate 2200 but I think that may be difficult.

New Measures as Lock Down Eases

The below amended measures issued today by the Junta ;


🦠New Measures announced by the Junta de Andalucía after the end of the State of Alarm next Sunday.
The president of the Junta de Andalucía, Juanma Moreno, has reported that, with the tools available to his Government and following the advice of the experts, the autonomous community will begin on May 9 a process of transition to normality after the end of the state of alarm.
In each phase, the opening hours of shops and hotels will be gradually extended. Likewise, the capacity of shops, bars, restaurants, transport and public shows will depend on the alert level - from 1 to 4 - declared in each municipality.
Thus, this Sunday, with the end of the state of alarm, both the curfew and the perimeter closure of communityies will disappear, and, in addition, the number of people who meet at homes can no longer be regulated, the phase stabilisation, which now includes the following measures:
1. The curfew disappears.
2. The communities, which until now had closed perimeters, become open.
3. Opening of the hotel business until 00.00 hours.
4. Tables in restaurants: maximum capacity of 8 people inside and 10 outside, depending on the alert level of each municipality.
5. Celebration venues, with a maximum capacity of 300 people inside and 500 outside.
6. Bars with music and discos may open until 2:00 am, with the same seating and table conditions as restaurants.
7. Dance floors will only be allowed in municipalities with alert level 1, always outside and the mask is mandatory.
8. Performances, cinemas, theaters, sporting events and bullrings, at alert levels 1 and 2, a free seat must be left between each group of spectators. In the rest of the levels it will be necessary to respect the meter and a half of separation.
9. In beaches and swimming pools there is no time limit. Yes, a specific protection plan against Covid-19 will be necessary, as in 2020, and the maintenance of a distance of one and a half meters between groups.
10. Regarding mobility, only those municipalities with more than 5,000 inhabitants with a cumulative incidence in 14 days of more than 1,000 infections per 100,000 inhabitants will remain closed. In them, only essential commercial activity will be allowed. In those with less than 5,000 inhabitants, a specific risk assessment will be carried out.
Thus, on June 1, if the conditions of the pandemic allow it, the "advance phase" will be activated, with fewer restrictions on schedules and capacity.

Road Diversion



The below has been received regarding a diversion necessary for the Motorway works. 

We wish to inform you that next Saturday, May 8, between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. it will be necessary to divert traffic on the A-334 towards Albox between the intersection of El Cucador and the La Alfoquía junction, located at P.K.  79. The alternative route will be through the A-1101 and the La Alfoquía crossing, from where you can access the A-334 again at the indicated link.  We attach plans of the planned detour.

 The reason for the temporary diversion  is the placement of the fastening elements of the framework for the deck of a running bridge.  Once this activity is finished, the traffic will be restored to its current state.

I am informed that some people who are not registered at the medical centre and do not have a medical number were turned away.


A Good Idea

Copied from the Almeria North Health Authority 

Today is a good day. After more than a year of pandemic, it's the first day that tracking activity doesn't produce any positive at AGS North Almeria.

Without a doubt, the tireless work of health and management professionals, the responsibility of most citizens and the management accomplished are paying off.
But let's not be fooled, let's continue to maintain prevention measures and be prudent because COVID is still among us.

For our own part we still have 8 active cases but that is one less than yesterday due to a recovery.
