On Sunday, an event to award trophies was hosted by the mayor of Nerja, José Alberto Armijo, along with the president of the Royal Spanish Athletics Federation, Raúl Chapado, the vice-president of the RFEA, and the president of the Andalusian Athletics Federation, Enrique López Cuenca, as well as members of the Municipal Corporation.
