The 7th Intercontinental Sailing Cup kicks off, touring Marbella, Ceuta, and Sotogrande.

Marbella will host the 7th Intercontinental Sailing Cup from tomorrow until May 4th, an event that once again positions the city as the epicenter of nautical sports. The event will gather more than 25 boats from clubs in Málaga, Ceuta, Cádiz, Melilla, and the Valencian Community, and will be held in an offshore cruising format. On its sixth anniversary, the competition proposes a challenging route between the city, Ceuta, and Sotogrande. The inaugural stage, starting from the municipality, will take place on May 1st, with an estimated journey of between 6 and 8 hours to Ceuta.

The Councilor for Sports, Lisandro Vieytes, highlighted that "the Sports delegation actively collaborates in the organization of this regatta along with the clubs and participating entities, with the goal of contributing to the development of the annual sports programming in the municipality." "The best sailors from Andalusia will come, and more than 300 people are expected to participate, including crews, organizers, and companions, which will undoubtedly have a significant economic and tourist impact on the city," the councilor stated. "This event positions our city as a true benchmark in the nautical world, consolidating the Marbella brand for quality sports tourism," he added.
