BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS MOTRIL has celebrated International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women with a programme of events. Inmaculada Torres Alaminos, councillor for Social Action, Equality and Citizens’ Participation, explained that the talks, workshops, film shows, debates, round tables and meetings organised by the Municipal Women’s Committee and the town hall were not limited to the day itself. Some events had begun earlier and others would continue afterwards, she said. The common denominator of the Rompe las Barreras (Break down the barriers), was a direct call to all women who were suffering, Torres said, so they could be aware there are many groups ready to listen to them, support them and help them to take action. The councillor also took the opportunity of thanking all of those involved in the Women’s Committee, not only for their perseverance and capacity for hard work but for organising events for the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

THE meeting allows journalists from all corners of the world to witness the caves firsthand, including its environment and the scientific work that is done from its Conservation Institute. Around 20 professionals will be able to check the biological, geological and archaeological values of the cave as well as its
present and future potential. From there, they are invited to share with readers and audiences all about the grotto. The Caves of Nerja are one of Spain’s major tourist attractions and are a series of caverns that stretch for almost five kilometres. Concerts are regularly held in one of the chambers, which
forms a natural amphitheatre. The caves were rediscovered in 1959 by five friends, who entered through a narrow sinkhole known as ‘La Mina.’ This forms one of the two natural entrances to the cave system. A third entrance was created in 1960 to allow easy access for tourists, just south of the Sierras of Tejeda and
