Crime rate on the Costa rises with more thefts and drug crime

Marbella was the town with the largest hike in figures but overall rates in Andalucía went down

According to Interior Ministry fig- ures published this week, crime increased on the Costa del Sol and in Malaga province last year, with 78,365 criminal offences commit- ted in 2016, an increase of 2.7 per cent on 2015. Across the Costa del Sol, Marbella saw the most strik- ing rise in crime. However, Malaga province bucks the trend in Anda- lucía overall, where numbers fell. The data released also shows that Spain’s murder rate is the second lowest in the EU. P4

Mayor of Torremolinos honours long career of former regional director of TUI

:: TONY BRYANT TORREMOLINOS. Salvador García, former regional director of cultural tourism for TUI, has retired after more than 40 years in the tourist industry. Torremolinos town hall organised an event at the Hotel Don Pedro in Playamar to honour García’s outstand- ing achievements within tourism in the area. Personalities and friends came from as far as London, Paris and Mallorca. José Ortiz, mayor of Torremolinos, presented the former director with a miniature replica of the Pimental tower - the Torre de los Molinos - the emblematic mill which gave the town its name. In his speech, Ortiz said, “It is be- cause of the continued work of pro- fessionals like Salvador that Torre- molinos has the level of tourism that it has today.” García, who has spent his entire working life promoting tourism in Andalucía, began his career at the age of seventeen. In 1967, he joined the Ultramar Ex- press agency, which had its offices in Calle San Miguel and was later as- signed to the TUI headquarters in Malaga. In 1986, he was appointed regional director of the Cultural Tourism Cen- tre and he was fundamental in the promotion of tourism for Spain. Sal- vador was a member of the Torremo- linos tourist board, and he was rec- ognised as ‘Tourism Personality’ dur- ing the Tourist Day celebrations in Torremolinos in 2014.
