Cemeteries ready for All Saints' Day

IN PREPARATION for All Saints’ Day (November 1), a traditionally busy day for Spanish cemeteries, Salobreña Council’s Works and Services Department has been carrying out its usual maintenance and improvement jobs.

La Villa, Lobres and La Caleta cemeteries have all been given a general tidy-up and new coat of paint, and gardens and lighting in and around the areas given some TLC.

This year, department leader Javier Ortega reported, particular attention has been paid to street lighting in the cemetery surroundings and under the N340 bridge.

To accommodate traditional visits to the cemeteries, they will remain open for longer than usual on October 31 and November 1 and the council will be running a special bus service.
