Residents of Alcaucín have started a petition to get a replacement paediatrician as the village, as well as La Viñuela, Canillas de Aceituno and Periana have all been without a specialist since their permanent children's doctor started maternity leave more than a month ago.

Although the Axarquía district health authority wanted to cover the vacancy with a family doctor, residents protested that children needed to be seen by a qualified paediatrician.

Canillas de Aceituno mayor, Vicente Campos, said on Wednesday that if the situation wasn't resolved then residents in his village would also start to protest.
