Going BIG for International Women’s Day

AS a proud female-owned business which has always put women at the forefront of its ethos, the Euro Weekly News is this year celebrating International Women’s Day throughout the whole month of March.

Both in print across our six editions and online, expect to find inspirational interviews, thought-provoking quotes and femalefocused features from Wednesday, March 1 onwards.

Yes, while others may be content to celebrate women just one day a year, at the Euro Weekly News we believe that women - responsible for some of the world’s biggest feats and advancements - should be given far more of a spotlight.

Better still, the month will culminate in our International Women’s special, celebrating extraordinary women from across Spain and further afield!

To let us know about an inspiring woman you know, who you think we should be featuring, contact the Euro Weekly News at edito rial@euroweeklynews.com.

“It’s so important to have a broad spectrum of people working in industry, business and politics. It widens and extends horizons and possibilities, increases creativity, diversity and quality.

Yes, it’s about inclusiveness and fair access for women and all those who experience barriers and discrimination, but the world is changing and being a woman in business is exciting and empowering. With so much in place to expose and challenge discrimination women must now encourage others to work towards realising their aspirations.”

Beautification Plan ongoing

FUENGIROLA Town Hall continues with its Beautification Plan in green areas of the town.

Work is now being carried out in La Veguilla park, where new planters are being created, in response to a neighbourhood request. In addition, work has already been carried out on various roundabouts, such as Los Caballos, El Sol and Marenostrum, as well as on the planters on Avenida de Las Salinas, Francisco Rivera Paquirri and Plaza Punta Umbría, among others.

The councillor for Ecology, Antonio Carrasco, confirmed: “The Fuengirola Town Hall, through the Urban Ecology department, has been developing an Action Plan for green areas in squares, roundabouts, planters, etc, so that the surroundings look their best at different times of the year.

“Now we are starting the Beautification Plan for all the green areas in our neighbourhoods. Once Christmas is over and after collecting all the Easter trees, it’s time to beautify our roundabouts, and we have already completed almost all of them, as well as the planters, many of which have already been reseeded and planted for the spring and summer,” he added.
