United for a cause.
THIS year’s Poppy Walk, organised by the Nerja Branch of the Royal British Legion, brought together members, friends, and their furry companions for a delightful day outdoors. The walk kicked off at The Andalus Hotel and wound its way through the scenic streets of Nerja, and finished at The Marazul Hostal.
Everyone enjoyed refreshments upon arrival and took part in a raffle and entertaining games of ‘Play Your Cards Right’. The event has already raised an impressive €1,000, with more donations expected to come in, showing the community’s generous spirit. Dorothy Allen, one of the
Poppy Appeal organisers, expressed her heartfelt thanks to everyone involved - walkers, helpers, and those who donated prizes and money. “It was a good walk enjoyed by all, even the dogs!” she said, reflecting the lovely atmosphere of the event. With strong community support, the Poppy Walk
continues to be a meaningful occasion, uniting people for a great cause. Here’s to many more successful events that bring everyone together while making a positive impact! For more information about the Royal British Legion in Nerja check out their website rblnerja.com or social media pages.

50th Anniversary LA CUEVA DEL TESORO in Rincon de la Victoria is celebrating its 50th anniversary since opening to the public. This fascinating cave, one of only 10 underwater-origin caves in the world, has a rich history that dates back thousands of years. Originally owned by Enrique Laza Herrera, it was his nephew, Manuel Laza Palacio, who transformed it into a popular tourist destination in the 1970s. Manuel’s passion for archaeology led to significant discoveries inside the cave, including ancient rock art and a ceramic lamp containing six gold coins from the 12th century. These findings contributed to the cave’s reputation, earning it the name ‘Cave of Treasure’. Since it became a cultural asset in 1985, La Cueva del Tesoro has seen a huge increase in visitors, with more than 75,000 people exploring its depths in 2023 alone. The local government is committed to preserving this historic site, making it an essential part of Rincon de la Victoria’s cultural landscape. With its mysterious legends and rich archaeological treasures, La Cueva del Tesoro continues to draw locals and tourists, eager to uncover its secrets.
