Coastal path THE second phase of construction that began last summer, on the beach in front of Villa Astrida, has been completed and adds 500 metres to the section of the Motril coastal path between Los Moriscos and Bonobo at a cost of €250,000. Welcome Aldi THE Almuñecar Council has approved a proposal by the Aldi group to build a new store and car park costing €2 million on the former site of the Dia supermarket and according to the Council this will be just their second supermarket on the Costa Tropical. Rescued vulture YOUNG vultures who are migrating often become disorientated or dehydrated and one was found in the streets of Velez-Malaga on November 16 by residents who alerted the Local Police to its plight.
