If we also offer our coast for water sports, promoting Lunch and The Horseshoe, which is what we're after, it's guaranteed." The Sexitano edil wanted to thank the management of the Marina del Este port for its predisposition and the Andalusian Federation of Motornáutica for choosing Almuñécar and La Herradura as a place for the celebration of this test.
