A wash-out

The news from the Alpujarra today is that an ancient bridge over a gully on the A4127 has been washed away by torrential rain. (That's the road that runs up the hill from Cadiar to the junction by the mirador, where you turn right for Mecina and left for Berchules.) This has isolated our village (and its neighbours) from the main local population centre and means that kids from Juviles going to school in Cadi are faced with an 85 km trip (well, according to the paper. I think you can get there on a rough wee road via Nieles or Castaras, which would be more like 10k.) Engineers are visiting the site today but current opinion is that the old bridge is beyond repair, and a brand new one will be required. Locals say there hasn't been any signifcant water in that gully since 1973.
