The Department of Social Welfare in Torrox has launched a campaign announced last year, ‘For a million steps’, with the aim of promoting sports and healthy habits among the local population and to help fight a major XXI century epidemic, obesity.
Obesity affects about 13% of the population of Andalucia. The mayor of Torrox, Manuel Martín (PP), announced that this project, which has its origin in an occupational centre in Sevilla, has been viewed very positively by the World Health Organization.
