Los Bandidos started in June 2018 with a small group participating in the 5k Mojacar Paseo. Since then, they’ve expanded to include road cycling, sea swimming, and triathlon groups. People of all ages, nationalities, and abilities are welcome, whether permanent residents or holidaymakers. The group is committed to integrating and supporting the local community, currently collecting donations for the Red Cross Food Bank.
