Nerja gets physical for parkour advert

BURRIANA BEACH in Nerja was chosen as the setting for a new advert featuring ‘parkour’ athletes.

Parkour is a French, non-competitive sports discipline, in which participants leap and vault from one place to another as quickly as possible, overcoming in the most efficient way all sorts of barriers and obstacles, usually in an urban environment.

Parkour athletes are called traceurs, and their sport requires dedicated training, skill and great physical condition.

Malaga athlete Santi Traceur, known for his YouTube channel, took part in the filming in Nerja, which was organised by production company Euromedia for a Dutch bank called Florius, specialised in providing loans to young people.

The Calahonda Beach will also be used as a setting next week for another audiovisual production.
