NEW EDITION OF "LOS PELUDITOS" PARADE AT FAN

NOTE: Postponed - New date October 22

On Saturday, October 8, FAN Mallorca Shopping will host a new Furry solidarity parade, coordinated in a special way by the Asociación Peluditos de Son Reus. Along with the association, 6 NGOs working for animal rights in Mallorca will also participate, with the aim of raising awareness and giving visibility to the adoption of animals in a state of abandonment. The parade will take place in the square next to Dock39, from 5pm to 9pm.

During the event, each organisation will have a stand where they will explain their cause and raise funds. The most eagerly awaited moment of the afternoon will undoubtedly come with the parade of these adorable furry animals. Those attending will be able to get information and meet any of them in person and, if they wish, take the necessary steps to take them into their home.The non-profit organisations that will be present at the event are: Happy Cat, ADA Mallorca, Animal Smile, Dogs for U, Mallorcatz and Peluditos de Son Reus Association.

In addition to the parade itself, the Asociación Peluditos de Son Reus will be holding a charity raffle in which different gifts will be handed out to those who buy tickets. The proceeds from both initiatives will go entirely to the care of abandoned animals.

AUTUMN MOSTRA DE CUINES

Calvia‘s “Mostra de Cuines” is a gastronomic event held twice a year in the municipality – before and after the summer season.

With the idea of making Calvia’s “Mostra de Cuines” an event that can be enjoyed by the maximum amount of people, restaurants are encouraged to offer alternative menus to those advertised (always at the same price as shown in their advertising) – children’s menus, so that whole families can go, gluten-free menus and vegetarian menus.

As Calvia is very extensive, during the celebration of the “Mostra”, the municipality is divided into 4 large areas and every Friday it is held in a different place.

Starting on Friday October 7 in the areas of Palmanova and Magalluf, here is a list of restaurants taking part:

- Oceans Restaurant (Magalluf)
