Benalmádena fishing club nets over 1,000 Christmas gifts for needy children

Benalmádena hosted the 'Pesca de Juguetes’ festive charity collection initiative on Sunday 1 December, a campaign organised by the local fishing club to collect items like toys, clothes, books and sweets to be donated to children and families in vulnerable situations.

Along with the town hall, the initiative had the collaboration of three local motorcycle associations: Grupo Motero 222, Sun Coast Custom and V-Strom Andalucía. Following a tour of the municipality, the convoy of bikers arrived at Bil Bil castle on the Costa for an afternoon of entertainment, which included a dance performance by the Virginia Martín academy.

Those involved in the event, which also included the Virgen del Carmen divers association, collected more than 1,000 gifts, which will be distributed to needy youngsters over the festive period by Cáritas Diocesana Inmaculada Concepción.
