MALAGA is one of the best places to be in summer. Marbella, Nerja, Torremolinos, even Malaga City, they’re all packed. Lots of people, lots of sun, busy beaches, and prices to match. But if you look a bit further east, things are different. EWN got curious and asked ChatGPT where the most affordable coastal towns in the province are. The answer came back quickly: Axarquia. Specifically, Torre del Mar, Caleta de Velez, Torrox, and Algarrobo-Costa. All in the same part of the coast, quieter but still by the sea. And you can still find places to stay in summer for around €85-90 a night. Way

garrobo’s calendar, proof that sport can bring real social change.” The authorities expressed gratitude to all who made the event possible - from volunteers and participants to sponsoring
companies and partner organisations. The event not only highlighted the importance of promoting active lifestyles but also reminded everyone of the power of small communities coming together.
THE Anne Axarquia Association in Velez-Malaga has received €31,744 from the Malaga Provincial Council to purchase an adapted nine-seater vehicle for users with disabilities. The funding will allow the association to transport nearly 50 users from small municipalities in Axarquia to its Day and Occupational Centre. Many of the centre’s users face severe mobility challenges and rely on specialised transport to attend daily therapy and activities. The announcement was made during a visit to the centre, marking the organisation’s 30th anniversary. Local officials praised Anne Axarquia’s work in improving the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities across the region since 1995. With this new vehicle, the association can continue to ensure access to vital services for people at risk of social exclusion, reinforcing its mission of inclusion, dignity, and independence for one of society’s most vulnerable groups. The funding will allow the association to transport nearly 50 users. Credit: Diputación de Málaga
LOCALS from Algarrobo and the La Mayora Experimental Station have joined forces to support a good cause. This week, they handed over a €4,800 donation to AFADINE, a local association supporting families in need. Since last year, they are also organising a summer therapeutic camp for children with functional diversity from Nerja, Torrox, Frigiliana, and Algarrobo. The funds were raised during the 12th La Mayora Charity Run, an event which brought together dozens of participants for a day filled with sport and solidarity. They’ve all run an eight-kilometre race over mixed asphalt and dirt terrain. Natacha Rivas, mayor of Algarrobo, praised the ge-

laga experience without the high-season prices. Axarquia might not be the most famous part of the coast, but if you’re looking for sea, sun, and a fair deal, it’s definitely worth a look. And yes, even ChatGPT said so.
