Nerja entrepreneurs unite to bring relief to the needy A GROUP of Nerja entrepreneurs have joined together to help people in need. Given the economic crisis facing a large
percentage of Nerja residents, the group decided to create the municipality’s first food bank. It is scheduled to be inaugurated on August 15.
It is estimated that as much as 30 per cent of people in Nerja are currently unemployed. The food bank is the brainchild of men and
women like Miguel Benitez, Gregorio Ubico and Alun Hill, who have dedicated years of their lives to the tourism and construction sectors.
Culturally-diverse dance festival THE 33rd edition of the International Dance Festival in Torrox was a huge success. Held between Thursday July 31 and Sunday August 3, the festival featured some of the best dance ensembles from Spain. The festival has become one of the most important cultural events on the Costa del Sol and this year’s programme included traditional
dances from places as culturally diverse as Mexico, Castilla-La Mancha and Andalucia, said Culture Councillor Juanma Cortes. Dance Academy Lydia and Lucia began the proceedings with a breathtaking performance entitled ‘Sueños’ (Dreams), which was followed on Friday with a traditional flamenco show. First held in 1981, the Torrox
International Dance Festival was the first event of its kind in the Axarquia to promote Andalucian folklore. One of the main objectives of the festival is to bring culture to the people and to promote both Torrox and the province of Malaga throughout the country, and to prevent the cultural legacy of the region from sinking into oblivion.
Now, it seems, they want to give something back to the community. After getting all the necessary permits, the entrepreneurs met last week to present their altruistic initiative. “The Malaga Food Bank is going to be our adviser,” said Benitez. The entrepreneurs said they need volunteers willing to work a few hours a week to help with the bank. Those interested can call on 657 610 839.
