Just been catching up on a few feeds while taking a break from a new project and came across the reason that Aguadulce got its name.
Do you know? I will post the answer in a few days if no one has guessed!!!

Aguadulce gets it name from the pure spring water to be found in locally. Back in the old days (well 1960’s) an investigation by the ational Institute of Colonisation in 1960 found an underground flow of water straight from the Sierra Nevada down to the beach there, and recommended that the whole area be “colonised” for agriculture (this was the time of central Fascist planning).
Seems like you used to be able to dig down in the beach and find the drinking water ….. wouldn’t advice doing that now though!!
Thanks to David for the information
