Benidorm residents defied rain to participate in a pink-streets charity walk for breast and gynaecological cancer victims. Organized by Anémona Marina Baixa, the 24th Marcha Solidaria took place on Sunday, October 18, despite overnight rain and the threat of further showers. The event, which has become a significant part of Benidorm's community calendar, aimed to raise awareness and funds for cancer patients and research.
Despite concerns over further rainfall, the event retained a strong turnout, with the route shortened but still covering central Benidorm streets. Prominent figures such as the mayor and councillors attended, along with members of the local council and Anémona representatives. The walk sent a message of solidarity with those battling the disease and their loved ones, while also supporting therapeutic activities and research.
Following the walk, festivities included zumba sessions and food and drink sales, with local restaurants contributing to the cause.
