The mayor of the Spanish city of Vejer de la Frontera has asked the organizers to postpone the Sunshine Tour. The reason is the high number of corona infections in the Spanish city. The Sunshine Tour should take place from February 9 to March 28.
"It is not justifiable to organize such an event at this time, when we are asking the population to stay at home and not go out on the streets," explains Mayor Manuel Flor. "It is a very important event for our residents and the region, but we cannot allow it at this time", it sounds.
