Salobrena wins award as an Historical Centre
Salobrena has just won an award, the Seal of Quality for Smaller Historical Centres. Two years ago the European Union started up the Network of Historical Centres and Salobreña has now fulfilled the required criteria. The Mayor, Jesus Avenlino Menéndez, says that this is not just about the castle, although this forms a large part of the historical value to Salobreña, but also the diverse establishments, monuments and local gastronomy to be found in and around the town. The Mayor hopes that this Seal of Quality will help promote Salobreña throughout the rest of Europe as a touristic destination and at future travel fairs at which they participate.

Salobrena Council is going digital and has started a new initiative to try and save on the thousands of kilos of paper that are generated yearly by their staff. Someone at the council has been number crunching and has proudly announced that 20% of its paper consumption can be saved by using electronic mail to send and receive information. Welcome to the twenty first
century Salobreña! Gustavo Aybar from the Environment Department says that not only will they save paper and money but they will also be able to manage the flow of documentation more quickly and efficiently. They will also be getting to grips with an intranet system at the council offices to exchange documents and assist with all their internal communications.
