Torrox turns Spanish flag into giant show of local pride

Torrox, a Spanish town known for its diverse population, has transformed its historic old town into a spectacular display of national pride. In preparation for its annual celebrations, the town hall purchased approximately 100 kilometers of bunting, with about 60 kilometers installed along the route from La Almazara to the town center.

The striking red and yellow bunting lines stretch for over two kilometers, creating an impressive aerial impression of one enormous Spanish flag. This visual spectacle has garnered attention from foreign residents, who appreciate the opportunity to share their Spanish identity with fellow expatriates, whose contributions make up more than a third of the town's registered population.

Mayor Oscar Medina has praised the display, linking it to support for Ceuta, while highlighting how the streetscape reflects the town's commitment to celebrating Spanish identity while embracing its multicultural community.
