MOTRIL celebrates its Sports Day on Saturday February 28. Events kick off at 10am with a route for participants to follow covering the Avenida Nuestra Señora de la Cabeza in Las Explandas to the town’s Port.

Participants will receive a commemorative t-shirt and a drink after completing the itinerary.

There will be an open house at all town sports facilities, including the sports centre, pool facilities, padel and tennis courts, while in the Plaza de la Coronacion there will be a demonstration of aerobic sports and popular games.

Sports councillor Jose Garcia Fuente presented the activities scheduled for the celebration and explained that the Sports Day was conceived to promote physical activity amongst residents.

During the afternoon, there will be a rhythmic gymnastics demonstration by the students of the municipal sports school.

Mr Garcia added that the Andalucian flag will be hoisted before the activities begin, to commemorate Andalucia Day, the anniversary of approval of the Statute of Autonomy of Andalucia.
