How did the composition of participants (domestic vs. international) affect the overall economic impact of the marathon?

The marathon's economic impact is substantial, with tourist spending generating €5.9 for every euro spent on organization. The influx of mostly foreign participants (63% of total) significantly boosted tourist spending by 23.2% compared to 2023, despite a slight decrease in overall runners. This growth is largely attributed to higher daily spending by international participants (€194.7 vs €161.1 for national participants).

What are the underlying causes of the disagreements between the two administrations concerning the most efficient method for demolishing the Algarrobico hotel?

The central government's plan to expropriate land for the Algarrobico hotel's demolition contrasts with the regional government's preference to revoke the building permit. This divergence stems from differing views on efficiency and legal complexities, highlighting intergovernmental coordination challenges. The 2003 license, issued under previous socialist administrations, is a key factor.
