seems like you’ll be a couple of days too late, we’re having a party saturday for my daughters birthday and its open house with plenty of booze but you won’t be out 'til monday 
If you have time,try to go to Calahonda,there are two places with the same name.This one is near Motril,two good beach bars/resturants on the seafront,home made doughnuts in the town,English papers at the newsagents,at Hostal Miguels,the normal cheap lunch and dinner menus off course.At midday,they let off a loud cannon to annonce cooking of grilled sardines at one of the hotels.The cowboy theme park at Tabernas is worth a visit,if it is open all year or not,they used film well known western movies there and have stuntmen doing shoot outs,falling off balconies.
At Orgiva,thats a sleepy hippy town,but very pleasant,lot of Engish live there in caravans and old buses by the river banks.
