  "account": "Almuñecar will host a traditional horse-ribbon race, known as a carrera de cintas a caballo, on Sunday, October 11. The event will take place on the Rambla de Torrecuevas and start at 6.15pm. This unique spectacle is part of the annual celebrations in this Costa Tropical area, offering visitors a glimpse into the region's agricultural heritage and equestrian tradition. Riders on horseback will attempt to collect ribbons suspended from a structure as they race, combining control, accuracy, and timing. The 2026 festivities in Torrecuevas run from October 9 to October 12, with a focus on the community and the Virgen Madre. The horse-ribbon race is just one of several equestrian activities planned for the local celebrations, which also highlight the area's agricultural traditions and the production of subtropical fruit, such as the famous \"chirimoya\" or custard apple.",
