  "account": "The 27th edition of Surfari Mar Menor, an international watersports competition, brought 180 athletes to the Costa Calida over the weekend of October 9 to 11. The event was held at the newly inaugurated Playa Náutica de Las Salinas in Los Alcazares, a dedicated watersports area that allowed for races close to the shoreline, making the action more accessible to spectators. Participants came from Spain, Portugal, Finland, and the Dominican Republic, showcasing the Mar Menor's appeal as a destination for sailing and wind-powered sports. This year's programme expanded to include wingfoiling and Formula Kite, high-speed Olympic sailing sports. Andalusian competitors secured seven podium finishes, while Canarian sailor Isidro Enríquez won the overall Windsurfer title. The event further highlighted the lagoon's consistent sailing conditions, providing thrilling races for spectators and fostering a strong supporting community.",
