Charity trip success

ON Thursday, February 23, a group of generous community members came together for a day of cultural discovery and charity giving. Organised by volunteers from the AAR (Axarquia Animal Rescue), the group visited the Ron Montero Rum Factory in Motril before heading to the picturesque town of Almuñrcar.

The day began with a guided tour of the rum factory, which has been producing award-winning rum since

1963. Guests learned about the rum-making process and even got to sample some of the delicious rum that has made the factory famous.

The group then headed to Almuñrcar to explore the town’s many attractions. One highlight of the day was a visit to the San Miguel castle, which offers stunning views of the surrounding area. Guests then had two hours of free time to enjoy lunch and do some shopping.

The group also held a raffle on the coach to raise money for two charities, AAR Local Neutering and RBL Benajarafe’s Poppy Appeal. Thanks to the generosity of the guests and entry tickets, the group was able to raise a total of €500, which will be split between the two charities.
