fy objectives and develop measures that lead to their development, as well as to improve the tourist experience and the excellence of the destination.
In her speech, mayor, Margarita del Cid stated that “the sun and beach must be rethought to improve it, and it must be done from sustainability criteria, in such a way that it is also a commitment to the conservation and maintenance of those natural spaces that make up our coast.
“I believe that we are faced with the opportunity to revise the concept of sun and beach, trying to improve its reputation through innovation and technology, trying through these tools to meet increasingly personalised demands,” she added.
FORMER president of Chile and Club de Madrid Member Michelle Bachelet has given a speech on the occasion of the celebration of International Women’s Day, this March 8, in which she qualifies as “collective failure” any murder of a woman and in which she calls for “real and effective equality.”
Bachelet, who was UN High Commissioner for Human Rights until mid2022, highlights in her speech that inequality “continues to mark women” and calls for digital advances “not to forget half of the world’s population.”
“Thirtyseven per cent of women around the world do not have access to the Internet in the socalled digital era,” laments Bachelet, who explains that this translates into fewer job opportunities and a more limited knowledge of the world.
She asks us not to forget those women who risk their lives demanding freedom and sends a clear message: “Women’s freedom is unstoppable.”
President Bachelet highlights that she has “dedicated her whole life to fight for women’s rights,” becoming the first Executive Director of UN Women, and explains that she feels “especially honoured’ to belong to a group like Club de Madrid together with other women who have broken barriers. Club de Madrid has among its members 20 women who have been heads of state or government for the first time.
“From Club de Madrid we work every day to build a world in which women around the world can be free. And we will continue to do so until we achieve it,” said Bachelet.

For this reason, Benalmadena has confirmed that work to stabilise the two major beaches in the area, Malapesquera and Santa Ana, is set to commence in March.
