Residents of Benalmadena, a popular resort town in Costa del Sol, are being invited to participate in a charity walk on October 15 to raise awareness and funds for clean water access. The fourth annual Walkathon for Water will take place in the town, organized by the We Are Water Foundation with the Royal Oasis Club at Pueblo Quinta and Sahara Sunset, both managed by Hilton Grand Vacations.
The event aims to highlight the struggles faced by millions without safe drinking water, as more than two billion people worldwide lack this basic necessity, particularly in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Participants will traverse a five-kilometre route, symbolizing the daily journey many children undertake to collect water for their families.
The funds raised will support two water projects in India and Mexico, with the goal of improving clean water access for over 5,000 people. The walkathon is one of 20 events taking place across eight countries in 2026. Registration can be done online or at the event, with a minimum donation of €5 per person. After the walk, participants can enjoy paella, sangria, and a raffle from 1pm at Sahara Sunset.
