A BRANDNEW touring experience is set to take Almuñecar’s tourism industry by storm. Sexi TukTuk is set to offer tourists a chance to experience the beauty of Almuñecar and La Herradura in a unique, fun and flexible way, on three wheels!
in the town.
“Tourists from Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark have important direct and indirect effects on accommodation, shops, taxis, and other services. We must place special emphasis on these areas to fight against seasonality,” said Barbero.
“Behind every successful woman is herself”
The origin of the proverb is shown in 2012 by Bart Jackson and his book ‘Behind every successful woman is herself’. The meaning of the proverb is that if a woman has enough grit she can succeed, accomplish and do it on her own.
The new touring experience was launched on Friday, February 24 before rides get underway later this week. The tours plan to take tourists through the hidden gems of these beautiful towns. Sexi TukTuk is a brainchild of Bernardo Vallejo, the owner of the Berbikes shop in Almuñecar who wants to offer a new, exciting alternative for tourists and residents who want to explore the rich cultural and tourist spots in the area.
Sexi TukTuk offers two routes, each approximately two hours. The first route takes visitors through the Barrio de San Miguel, touring attractions including the Cueva de Siete Palacios and Roman Aqueduct, as well as magnificent views of Vega de Río Verde from the Arcos. The second route starts from Almuñecar and takes you through San Cristóbal and down to the Castle of La Herradura, with views of the ocean.
"We are so lucky to have access to university education because of the women who fought before us, for our rights. Thanks to them I am in the position I am in. I work for myself and I am very grateful for the past. I have so much hope for equality. My mother inspires me, her strength gave me strength.”

Viking’s charity triumph
FOR the fifth consecutive year, the Viking Street Workout Club from Torre del Mar has successfully sold 1,000 copies of their popular charity calendar, raising €5,000 to support the Deaf Association of Axarquia.
At a ceremony held to deliver the money raised on Monday, February 27, the deputy mayor of Torre del Mar, Jesús Pérez Atencia, expressed his admiration for the club’s unwavering commitment to charity, saying “The calendar has become part of Torre del Mar’s DNA. Every year it costs more and more to improve and create original calendars, but they never fail to amaze us, raising more money.”
The Viking Street Workout Club has become a fixture in the community, and their annual charity calendar is eagerly anticipated by fans and supporters alike. Manuel Pérez, secretary of the Viking Club, added, “Every year it is more difficult, because new technology means that calendars are less and less popular.”
Francisco Blázquez, President of the Deaf Association of Axarquia expressed his gratitude saying, “Thanks to the Viking WorkOut Club and the local council for their support in improving the future for the local deaf community.”
