Representatives from Los Bandidos were honoured to attend the gala to receive their award, which Mojacar Town Hall gave in recognition of Los Bandidos’ passion and commitment to promoting sport in Mojacar, and for the important work Los Bandidos do to integrate all those who participate.
Founder member, Kevin Rowe accepted the award on behalf of all Los Bandidos and thanked everyone for making the group so special.
Los Bandidos was set up in June 2018 with a small group running the 5k Mojacar Paseo, and now has road cycling, sea swimming and triathlon groups.

20,000 plants
THE recovery of La Hoya is now in process. The Jardines del Mediterraneo project implemented by Almeria City Council begins the start of the campaign to plant more than 20,000 trees and shrubs.
There will be over100 different species, including trees, shrubs, herbaceous, aromatic and ornamental plants, among others, which will dress up the area which is embraced by the Alcazaba, San Cristobal and the Jayran Wall.
At the same time as the project begins, work will continue with the execution of the hydraulic works (pools, canals, etc). The work will include the finalisation of the roadbeds and paving, which will also begin to reach the so-called ‘soft floors’.
Finally, the work will continue with lighting, furniture and fencing of the enclosure.
All the works are expected to be completed in time for the second quarter of the year.
