Olive excursion Idyllic coastal escape
ALMUÑECAR will soon welcome even more guests to the coastal paradise thanks to a planned hotel development. Developers announced plans to build a brandnew hotel, just a stone’s throw from the beautiful Puerta del Mar beach.
The new development, called Apartamentos Turísticos Puerta del Mar, will consist of 39 exclusive tourist apartments, with a parking area for up to 90 vehicles, a pool, gardens, and a chillout bar, all located on a plot of land next to the health centre, just a few steps away from the shoreline.
The building will also have a modern design with sustainable, energyefficient features. The hotel’s rooftop bar will also boast stunning panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea.
Developers announced their plans at a press conference alongside officials from the council including the mayor of Almuñecar, Juan José Ruiz Joya, and the councillor for Urban Development, Javier García, on Monday, April 3.
LOCAL residents are invited for a day of adventure and learning with the Lux Mundi Ecumenical Group in Torre del Mar. The group are taking an exciting excursion to Quaryat Dillar Olive Oil Factory and Granada on Thursday, April 27.
The group will start the day with a 30minute coffee stop on their way to the familyowned Quaryat Dillar Olive Oil Factory, set against the backdrop of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Visitors will be treated to a guided tour of the factory in English, where they will learn all about the fascinating olive oil production process. What’s more, they’ll get to taste the factory’s awardwinning olive oils! Next, the group will head to the vibrant city of Granada, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Visitors will have free time to explore, have lunch, or visit the stunning cathedral. The day will end with a return trip to Torre del Mar, but not before taking in all the sights and sounds of the beautiful region.
Tickets are available at the centre in Torre del Mar, with proceeds going towards the group’s fundraising efforts. The trip costs €38 for members and €40 for nonmembers.
They expressed their excitement about the new development, which promises to boost the local tourism industry, a major engine of the economy. The project has been created thanks to a new legal framework, the PGOU, which aims to guide developers in the region.
