GET your pink on and join the fight in Axarquia. Rincon de la Victoria is ready to march breast cancer right out of town. On Saturday, October 19 at 10am, the streets of Rincon will be awash with pink as local residents join forces for a march of support that’s about more than just putting one foot in front of the other. Organised by the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC), with a little help from the Rincon de la Victoria Town Hall, this isn’t just an ordinary march - it’s a full-on battle cry. Councillor Olga Cervantes is at the helm, rallying the troops. But, this isn’t just about hitting the pavement, they want every woman out there to know that getting checked early could mean the difference between life and death. It’s about kicking breast can-

THE Junta de Andalucia has opened its chequebook and it’s Primary Care that’s hitting the jackpot, as a whopping 41 per cent of the region’s healthcare investment has been funnelled straight into frontline services. In what can only be described as a healthcare bonanza, the Andalucian government has pumped €34.8 million into the Axarquia region, and nearly half of that has gone to beefing up Primary Care - the first line of defence. Malaga has had some serious gaps in healthcare for years - especially in Primary Care. But this new investment is one step towards making sure people can get the care they need without long delays. The best thing about this is that it’s not just a one-off cash boost. By the end of 2024, the Junta will have splashed out a whopping €330 million on healthcare in Malaga alone.
Nerja’s stunning makeover FINALLY, it’s happening. The clock is ticking. Nerja’s star attraction, the famous Balcon de Europa, is getting a well-deserved makeover.
