Moraira’s Teatre Portitxolet launched its 2026–2027 cultural programme on Friday, October 23, with the world premiere of a new play exploring community history and the protection of local heritage. The production, Maleducades: El preu de la memòria, or The Price of Memory, opened the programme under the Catalan slogan ‘Posem-li color a la vida’, meaning ‘Let’s add colour to life’.

A new play explores the value of local heritage and memory

Written by Daniel Ibanco and performed by the theatre group’s adult cast, the play centres on the proposed sale of an old school building to make way for an urban development project. The decision threatens a significant place for the local community, filled with memories and nostalgia. The play, through humour, irony and social commentary, encourages audiences to consider the importance of preserving a town’s heritage.

The premiere of the successful show took place at 9:30pm in the Tina Bru auditorium at Espai La Senieta in Moraira. The opening weekend also featured activities beyond the theatre, with the group bringing culture and the arts closer to the community.

Traditional street games bring culture to the community

On Saturday, October 24, Teatre Portitxolet organised ‘Recuperem els carrers del poble’, or Let’s Reclaim the Town’s Streets), a traditional games event on Calle Doctor Calatayud. Running from 11:00am to 1:00pm, the activity encouraged the little ones in the town to rediscover the streets as places to play, socialise and spend time together.

Moraira’s cultural programme continues into 2027

The cultural programme will continue in December, with ‘Feliç Any Morairero’, followed by January activities celebrating the Epiphany and the traditional Sant Antoni festivities, which will take place midway through the month.

Through this vibrant new programme, Teatre Portitxolet will strengthen Moraira’s cultural life and offerings, preserve local traditions and create opportunities for residents and visitors of different generations to come together in Moraira’s charming streets and cultural venues.

A charity running event will take place at Terra Mítica theme park in Benidorm on November 8, offering local residents and visitors the chance to take part in a sporting challenge, all while supporting a good cause close to the community’s heart. The Carrera Solidaria Terra Mítica Park is a 5-kilometre race in the Costa Blanca resort, and unlike competitive races focused on speed and finishing positions, this event is non-competitive, putting the emphasis on participation, solidarity and the experience of taking part with the community.

A charity race with a community focus

Terra Mítica, a theme park, is one of Benidorm’s best-known attractions, which takes visitors on a journey through ancient Mediterranean civilisations, including Egypt, Greece and Rome. It is located in the Partida del Moralet area of Benidorm, near the road connecting the resort with Finestrat.

Its distinctive setting offers an alternative to the traditional road race, bringing a sporting event to the vibrant and decorated grounds of the theme park.

A five-kilometre challenge for runners of all skills

The 5K distance makes the event an option for runners looking for a shorter challenge, including those who want to enjoy a community sporting occasion without committing to a longer race. Charity runs like these can also provide an opportunity for participants to support a cause through sport, while bringing together people with different levels of running experience.

Supporting local charities, including Cáritas

The funds raised from the event will go towards local charity organisations, including Cáritas, an organisation dedicated to combat poverty, social exclusion, intolerance and discrimination in the community.

Running through Benidorm’s famous theme park

The venue regularly draws families and visitors seeking entertainment beyond Benidorm’s beaches and nightlife, making it a recognisable setting for an event that combines leisure and sport. Those interested in participating can consult the event listings on various websites, including Dale Deporte, Buscametas or WODira.

With its five-kilometre format and non-competitive nature, the event offers a fun opportunity for running enthusiasts, no matter their skill level, to enjoy a different sporting experience in Benidorm while supporting a charitable cause.
