Jewel in the Crown of Torrox MAYOR OSCAR MEDINA has articulated a bold vision for the Calaceite sector in Torrox, proclaiming that it is poised to become “one of the most spectacular areas in southern Europe.” During a recent presentation aimed at over 100 investors and developers, held at the Meridiana Meetup - MIPIM real estate forum in Malaga, he outlined an ambitious development and urban planning strategy that includes a new marina strategically positioned along the municipality’s coastline.

FITUR tourism boost TRIANA CORAZÓN DE LA AXARQUIA, the tourism site, have created all new products promoting Triana to take to the International Tourism Fair of Madrid or FITUR in Madrid. Local and well-known artist Macu Fernandez helped the group to create jumpers that could be bought as souvenirs at the FITUR stalls.

They were at the fair on January 22, which came days after Triana released their new tourism video ‘Triana con Arte’ encouraging visitors to take in the town’s culture.
