Gaucín: 1 Serrato: 1. The two teams were very equal in ability. In the last five minutes,  Serrato scored, and as Gaucín was thinking that Serrato had won the game, JuanFran Hidalgo scored, making a tie at the last minute. It was very emotional to the end. Thanks to the parents who accompanied the team and cheered it on. The next game will be in the new  year with Teba. And the escuela Municipal de fútbol takes this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

More than 100 participants took part, some coming from as far as Sevilla, Jerez, Coin and Málaga. Upon arrival there was a breakfast of churros and chocolate, or coffee and toast in the bar El Pajuelo, where the organizers divided the group into 7 smaller groups, that then went into various parts of the Gaucin campo to collect the mushrooms. Each group was lead by a gaucineño familiar with the tracks and by-ways of the municipality.

By 2 o´clock the groups reunited at the Plaza and displayed the mushrooms collected. While the experts began to classify the mushrooms according to species and varieties, the participants were treated to a wonderful luncheon in the  mercado de abastos, with paella, the famous  "carne María", and vino mosto from the vineyard of Miguel Calvente.

In the afternoon, Jose Ramón Sogorb Castro, one of the greatest experts of Málaga in mushrooms, and author of one of the best books on mushrooms, explained one by one the characteristics of each species, the edible and the  tóxic. A total of more than 90 species were classified. At 7 p.m. the day ended and participants received a jar of honey from the región.

It was a complete success in participation and collection of species, and is the first time Gaucín has had a Jornada micológica. Thanks are due to all the people who helped and so freely gave of their time and knowledge, above all the many guides who showed the participants the tracks and by-ways of Gaucín.
