Everything ready in Nerja to celebrate its multiculturalism with Resident's Day

Nerja boasts one of the largest communities of foreign residents in the province, with almost one third of its more than 22,000 neighbors born outside Spanish borders. Once again, this upcoming Sunday, April 27, the central Plaza de España will host the twenty-third edition of the Nerja Resident's Day, an event that has become a symbol of coexistence among citizens of different nationalities residing in the easternmost coastal municipality of Málaga.

The councilor for Residents, Ana María Muñoz (PP), accompanied by Paula Anthony, presented the event's program, highlighting in a statement that the main goal is "to strengthen the bonds of unity among the more than one hundred nationalities registered in Nerja and Maro."

"This day is dedicated to all the residents of our town. We will have about thirty 'stands' representing foreign associations and groups settled in the locality, in addition to a varied schedule of performances that will extend throughout the day," said the councilor from Nerja.

The event will begin at 12:00 PM with the traditional concert by the Nerja Music Band, which will lead into a wide range of cultural activities to enjoy with family and community. From the Residents' Council, all neighbors and visitors are invited to participate in this day of celebration and meeting, which, as in previous editions, will be presented by the aforementioned Paula Anthony.

On the other hand, the councilor for Citizen Attention, Antonio López (PP), has announced a change in the public service hours of the Municipal Office for Citizen Attention (OMAC), both at its main office located in the lower part of the Nerja Town Hall and at the office located in the district of Maro.

The new schedule for the OMAC in Nerja will be from Monday to Friday, from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM and from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, with the aim of providing a more accessible service to all the residents of the municipality. Likewise, the Maro office will serve the public on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

"This measure seeks to facilitate the carrying out of municipal procedures and to reinforce the commitment of the Town Hall to provide close, efficient, and adapted attention to the needs of the citizens, considering the start of the summer season and the new time use," expressed the Nerja town council in a statement.
