The mayor of Marbella, Ángeles Muñoz, has inaugurated the San Pedro Alcántara Day Fair with over 200 daily personnel and around thirty cameras spread throughout the venue.

The mayor of Marbella, Ángeles Muñoz, inaugurated the San Pedro Alcántara Day Fair this noon, which kicks off with a security deployment of more than 200 daily personnel and a programme aimed at all ages. The mayor highlighted that the Night Fair started "without any incidents" and expressed hope that the situation will remain the same throughout the week. To monitor the venue, about 30 cameras have been placed at strategic points.

As detailed by the mayor, the deployment includes Local Police, National Police, Firefighters, Civil Protection, and Red Cross, among other services, who will be responsible for both security and maintenance of the venue. The Town Hall will distribute wristbands at the Punto Morado that allow checking, with a few drops of the drink, if any chemical substance has been introduced.

"With these measures, we want to ensure a safe fair for everyone"

Muñoz also pointed out that the programme is designed for all audiences. On the same day, the Children's Day is celebrated, and more than 1,200 elderly people will have lunch in the seniors' tent. The mayor expressed her hope that the weather will cooperate after a few "spectacular" initial days.
