Racing in Almeria

THE Skoda Titan Desert Almeria 2023 is renewed, ready to go and already has dates for its four stages: from October 7 to 10 .

The race, which is one of the great references in Spain, will bring all the values, spirit and challenges that are characteristic of the events of the Titan World Series universe but will add a whole series of new features that will give it a unique personality.

Four stages held entirely in the province of Almeria will include the usual challenges of the race: the contrast between mountain and desert, sections next to the spectacular Cabo de Gata and a unique coexistence between all the titans.

The 2023 edition will have many surprises that will begin to be revealed on March 23, coinciding with the opening of registrations, at the official launch of the race that will take place in the Escapa shop, in Calle Viladomat, 310, in Barcelona.

A WHOPPING 60 per cent of men in Almeria hardly do any housework.

If the survey of essential characteristics of the population and dwellings of the National Statistics Institute (INE) makes one thing clear, it is that not everyone makes an equal effort in household chores.

Although great progress has been made it would appear there are those who still need to do more.
