Aces high

RACKET sports are set for a boom in Torrox thanks to the local council’s latest expansion of the Los Llanos tennis and padel complex.

Local mayor Óscar Medina and local councillor for Sports José Manuel Fernández opened the new Court 6 on Monday, July 24 alongside the Ferrara Tennis and Padel Association’s President Gema Encinas.

The €39,000 project caps off years of upgrades to meet the rising demand for tennis and padel in the community. Fernández said that when his party took over, they pledged to enhance the facilities, a promise which has now been fully delivered.

The improvements began with replacing Court 4’s wall with glass and constructing new locker rooms. Court 5’s renovation was next, and now Court 6, which extends play options further. Recently the complex also got new LED lighting and two courts had their surfaces fully renovated.

Mayor Medina said such investments in fitness and recreation facilities promote healthy living for residents of all ages. Meanwhile, the Ferrara Association thanked the council for supporting the growth of tennis and padel, which they encourage everyone to try.
