The first edition of the Mijas Sun & Golf Circuit has had a luxurious culmination with the final at Los Lagos de Mijas Golf and a gala dinner at the adjacent splendid 5-star hotel La Zambra. The spectacular course designed by Robert Trent Jones was the luxurious setting for the final, in which the eight prizes of vouchers to play for a year in the six courses that have integrated this first edition of the Mijas Sun & Golf Circuit were elucidated: Chaparral, Miraflores, Cerrado del Águila, La Noria, La Cala Europa and Los Lagos de Mijas Golf. The prizes went to the first three classified in the first and second categories, plus the scratch winner and the winner of the ladies category. The Circuit has been sponsored by the Mijas Town Hall, in an initiative of the Mijas Golf Courses Association.

The competition at Los Lagos brought together the 45 finalists of the Tour, that is, nine players for each of the five qualifying rounds. The participants in the final were fortunate enough to play on the emblematic Costa del Sol course just before the summer maintenance work began on the course, which will force Los Lagos to close for a few days.
A few hours after the competition finished, a magnificent gala dinner was held at the Hotel La Zambra, the spectacular ‘heir’ to the iconic Hotel Byblos. The event brought together a hundred people on one of the resort's large terraces overlooking the Los Olivos course, one of the two 18-hole courses at Mijas Golf, also designed by Robert Trent Jones.
It is worth mentioning that the tournament registered a hole in one and it was also the first hole in one achieved by Inés Hermano Tsao, a regular player at Mijas Golf.
The splendid gala dinner, which was preceded by a cocktail and attended by the finalists and their companions, was attended by the mayoress of Mijas, Ana Mata, and the councillor responsible for Tourism, Francisco Jerez, as well as representatives of the courses participating in the Circuit, such as the directors of Mijas Golf and Chaparral, Lorenzo Pérez and Domingo Gavira, respectively, and Silvia Ortega, from La Cala Resort.
The aforementioned people took the floor to show their satisfaction for the development and repercussion of this inaugural edition of the Mijas Sun & Golf Circuit and bet for its continuity and growth in future editions.
