Malaga short on hotels
Malaga’s hotels are unable to accommodate the 8,000 delegates of the Forever Living’s 2009 European Rally, thus obliging the organizers to reserve rooms at hotels in Torremolinos. Likewise, the organizers of the 14th National Congress of Hypertension, due to be held from 5-8 March, with an expected attendance of 4,100 delegates, have had to follow suit.
