Once again, the heavy snowfalls were to blame for 2 families (including a pregnant woman and four small children) being trapped in a hotel in Bérchules. However, the snowploughs were unable to gain access through the narrow mountain pass which separates Pitres de la Pedanía from Capilerilla. Finally, the families took matters into their own hands with the help of hotel staff, used a 4 wheel drive to carefully mark the track down to Pitres and from there on, back to Granada capital. The hotel, as well as much of Bérchules, remained without electricity and water for the entire weekend due to the poor weather conditions across Granada province.

During a weekend when over 3500 calls were received on Emergency 112, it was clear that the freak snowstorms and cold conditions had taken their toll throughout the Granada province.  Even though 450 members of the Guardia Civil were patrolling the roads, over 40 traffic accidents were recorded and some 500 fires were reported as a direct result of the difficult weather and five young illegal migrant Marroccans were saved from almost certainly freezing to death when trying to avoid authorities by travelling without documents under a truck.

A survey of shoppers organised by the Motril Town Hall and funded by the EU, has revealed that most consumers believe a big ‘anchor store’ or official shopping centre is necessary for the town centre. Instead of just being limited to the traditional shops available, they feel that there should be more choice. Also, they feel that the business hours just aren’t long enough.
