A Vibrant Economy
From Madrid to Barcelona, restaurants and bars are overflowing with people. The bustling street life reflects Spain's economic vitality. The Economist named Spain the world's best economy in 2024 - an achievement partly due to the unique approach to migration. "Spain must choose between becoming an open and prosperous country or a closed, poor country," declared Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. His vision appears to be working: the Spanish economy grew by an impressive 3.2% last year, while other European countries lagged behind (Germany: -0.2%, France: 1.1%, Italy: 0.5%).

Holy Week is one of the most beautiful in Andalusia, with a passion that is infectious for both visitors and members of the brotherhoods, through the music that touches us and the smell of incense and orange blossom in the streets. The processions and fervor of these celebrations in Vélez-Málaga, where we go every year, are almost impossible to explain in words and you really have to experience them in person at least once. This small capital of the Axarquía has a rich historical and cultural heritage in this area, more than 3,000 years of history which comes into its own in this year's 'Holy Week', which takes place from 13 to 20 of April.

After the many autumn and winter rains, there is a more hopeful outlook for the La Viñuela reservoir than a year ago. Although Lake Viñuela is still only at 21.7% of its capacity, this is already a significant improvement on last year. The provincial authority, the Diputación de Málaga, is confident that this will improve further in the coming months and has therefore decided to invest €1.06 million in renovating and improving the recreational area around the reservoir.
A new look for La Viñuela reservoir
The project is part of a wider environmental and recreational plan, which means new picnic tables, benches and lampposts will be installed, green areas will be extended, parking areas will be redeveloped and the playground and dog park will be improved. The investment aims to make the area more attractive to both local residents and tourists, and to preserve and enhance the natural beauty of the area as the reservoir has aged significantly over time.
