Chapel of Remembrance at Rankweil Basilica
The chapel is conceived as a place of devotion and prayer dedicated to commemorating the soldiers lost during both World Wars and the victims of euthanasia.

Novopie Podiatric Clinic
Novopie Podiatric Clinic is located in Torrox, a Malaga town, with the tourist slogan: ‘the best weather in Europe’. It is placed in a small shop of 18 square meters, on the ground floor of a residential building, inside of a coastal development built in the seventies.
