El Chucho, Piruleta, WiFi and more…

The work at El Chucho is progressing. At least there’s a sea wall built, but still a long way to go. June is still the predicted completion of the whole new promenade. The actual beach at this end is no longer ‘off limits’ although there is still no access from Torrecilla beach, you have to go round via calle Mérida.
