Costa del Sol racecourse


Saturday, December 22, 2007 |


Throughout the year racing fans can enjoy the weekly horse races at Mijas Costa. From October to May on Sunday mornings from 10.30h. From June to September in the cooler evening temperatures on Saturday from 23.00h. Racing lasts around three hours.
The racecourse attracts punters and fans from all along the coast and is hugely popular with locals and tourists of all nationalities. As an equestrian centre, there are plenty of courses available plus riding lessons and competitions.Costa del Sol racecourse described the current situation of a company that employs 80 people (33 of them full-time and the rest paid by race or event), but has not paid them since last September. He blames the financial problems of the Carrera Entertainment Corporation on bad management. “They owe a lot of money, not only to the workers, but to suppliers and so on as well. Now we have the additional problem of dealing with our lost credibility among these companies and sponsors,” he added.
Most of the workers have been there since the beginning, and one of the conditions of the granting of the concession in the past was to maintain the workforce at the same level. But the workers are now worried about their jobs, because it is expected that this clause will be eliminated in any future concession contract.
The Partido Popular spokesperson said his party proposes that the new concession holder take full responsibility for the existing staff debt.
