Malaga is getting ready to look at the city through the lens again at the Fernando González Photographic Marathon.

The Fernando González Photographic Marathon, organized by Diario SUR, celebrates its sixteenth edition this Saturday, gathering 150 photography enthusiasts and lovers in ... a day full of creativity, leisure, and competition through the streets of downtown Málaga.

This event has become a tradition for many participants and invites them to explore corners with a camera in hand in search of the best shot. Additionally, this year, the marathon coincides with the start of the Málaga Film Festival, which will provide more opportunities for snapshots.

Challenges around the city

Participants are summoned to the new headquarters of Diario SUR, at Félix Sáenz square, between 9:30 and 11:30 AM, to collect their materials and instructions to start the challenges. After the group photo, the starting signal for this edition will be given, in which they will have to travel to different points to complete the photographic challenges.

This year, as a major new feature, there will be four winners. They will receive Vueling airline tickets for two people to national or international destinations, in addition to gastronomic experiences and hotel stays, such as nights at B Bou Hotel La Viñuela & Spa or meals at the Asador Iñaki restaurant.

This year the marathon celebrates its sixteenth edition, an event that pays tribute to Fernando González, a graphic editor and photographer for SUR who passed away in 2018. The activity is organized by SUR and is sponsored by companies such as Avanza, Centro Comercial La Rosaleda, Famadesa, Museo Interactivo de la Música Málaga, Navarro Hermanos, CitySightseeing Málaga, and Vueling.
