was represented by Sports councillor Luis Caballero, who was accompanied by Vicente Ivars, his assistant from the same department.

The Cursa Popular, with categories for all ages, will be run over a 10­kilometre route through Teulada town centre and the adjoining Font de l’Horta rural zone.

“This race is part of our municipality’s sporting history,” Caballero said. “Thousands of people are looking forward to April 1, planning to put on their trainers and enjoy the meeting.”

This is a concept that unites Culture and Alicante and becomes an umbrella under which all the cultural products of the department directed by Antonio Manresa will be grouped.

Mayor, Luis Barcala, confirmed: “when we took office we found an area that was lethargic and dispersed.

“We started, then, to do management and today, finally, we present this new logo, and not the other way around, as we are used to in other administrations.”

Barcala pointed out that “the new image is the result of the work we have done. We have quadrupled the resources of the Department of Culture. This is not just intentions or empty announcements, it is to dress up the work already done so far.”
