The Junta de Andalucía has assigned nearly two million euros for ten towns and villages in Malaga which are classified as Tourist Municipalities. The places which are benefiting from the 1,970,924 euro package are Álora (82,436 euros), Antequera (216,863), Ardales (28,056), Benalmádena (306,384), Estepona (386,488), Frigiliana (31,865), Fuengirola (337,299), Nerja (109,242), Ronda (168,932) and Torremolinos (303,359).

The grants are to enable councils to improve their tourist attractions and adapt to new technologies associated with tourism and culture.

The regional government’s Minister for Tourism, Culture and Sport, Arturo Bernal, said the Junta is aware that these municipalities need extra financial help because their populations increase so much during peak season, and the grants will help to improve visitors’ experience.
