THE Tiburones Motorcycle Club from Almuñecar brought together almost 1,000 people over the weekend of June 4 and 5 at their 21st Motorbike Rally. The event was held on the grounds of the El Pozuelo‐Pepe Matías Park after a hiatus of two years. The president of the Club, Sandra Cobo, said: “It has been an intense weekend where we have been fortunate enough to have everything go as planned, and the good weather contributed to this. Saturday got better and better, with the good atmosphere ar‐ riving in the evening with the live music. “ On Sunday we had the motorbike ride through Almuñecar, as well as a huge paella for 500 people. I think people had a great time.” She also thanked the Almuñecar Town Hall and the Local Police for their collaboration. After two years, there was a strong desire for ev‐ eryone to meet and have a good time, which ex‐ plains why the event was attended not just by bikers from the coast, but from all over Andalucia and even further afield.
