Striding forward

INTERNATIONAL Women’s Day may have officially ended last week, but Mojacar kept the celebrations going until Sunday, March 12 with its ‘Marcha solidaria del Día de la Mujer’, Women’s Day Walk.

The atmosphere was electric as more than 280 people showed up to get behind women’s rights and raise funds for a worthy cause, the local Red Cross.

The event was a huge success, with participants enjoying a fantastic morning of community spirit and social sport along with friends, family and their dogs.

The sun shone while participants took in delightful coastal views.

Organisers from Mojacar Town Hall expressed their thanks to participants for joining in and showing their support for global women’s rights saying it was “A day to remember.”

They also added their thanks for donations.
