The iconic Benidorm Palace will once again open its doors for one of the region’s most cherished fundraising events: the Save My Life 16 charity gala. Taking place on Sunday, October 25, this annual gathering will bring together performers, volunteers, and the local community for a lively afternoon dedicated to rescuing and caring for abandoned animals.

Supporting local animal shelters and rescue efforts

Over its past fifteen editions, Save My Life has built a strong reputation across the Costa Blanca as a beacon of solidarity and hope for neglected pets. The primary mission of the gala is to raise crucial funds for local animal shelters and rescue associations, ensuring that abandoned dogs and cats receive essential veterinary treatments, food, shelter, and the opportunity to find loving forever homes.

Live entertainment and menu options for all ages

Attendees can look forward to a full, family-friendly programme packed with live music, comedy routines, incredible production value, and creative acts on the venue’s famous stage. Doors will open at 12:00pm, with the main show kicking off at 1:00pm. Standard admission tickets are priced at €12, making it an accessible afternoon out for all ages. Guests also have the option to add a meal for €10, featuring classic choices including Fish & Chips or Pie & Chips.

How your ticket purchase can make a difference for an animal in need

Behind every ticket purchased is a direct contribution to vital animal rescue work across the area. Proceeds will directly help cover emergency veterinary bills, vaccinations, microchipping, and daily care for animals awaiting adoption.

According to the Benidorm Palace official website, “By attending Save My Life 16, you’ll not only enjoy a unique afternoon surrounded by great music, fantastic performances, and an extraordinary atmosphere, but you’ll also be helping many animals get the care they need and find loving homes. At Benidorm Palace, we believe that solidarity can also be experienced from the stage.”

Whether you are a local resident, a regular visitor to Benidorm, or an animal lover looking to support a noble cause, Save My Life 16 promises an uplifting atmosphere where entertainment meets community spirit. Tickets and additional details are available directly via the Benidorm Palace website or box office.

Art enthusiasts and culture lovers across the Marina Alta are invited to an inspiring evening of fine art, community spirit, and local creativity as The Arts Society Marina Alta hosts its upcoming Members’ Art Exhibition and Opening Reception. Taking place on Friday, October 2, from 6:00pm to 8:00pm, this close community event will take place in the historic heart of Javea’s Old Town, inside the Soler Blasco Museum.

Celebrating local talent and Sorolla’s Mediterranean legacy

The exhibition will celebrate both the rich creative talents of the society’s own members and the enduring artistic legacy of Spanish master painter Joaquín Sorolla. World-renowned for his extraordinary ability to capture the vivid sun, dramatic sea cliffs, and luminous Mediterranean light, Sorolla famously developed a deep personal connection with Javea, finding inspiration along its idyllic coastline. This special showcase honours that work, displaying a diverse collection of original pieces produced by local society members whose paintings and creations reflect the unique atmosphere, natural beauty, and distinctive charm of the Costa Blanca.

A night of art and community connection

The evening will provide a fantastic opportunity for long-term residents, international expatriates, and seasonal visitors to meet the featured artists in person, discuss their creative techniques, and appreciate the impressive talent thriving within the Marina Alta area.

Event details and how to register

Both society members and members of the general public are warmly welcomed to join the opening celebration. Attendance is open to all, though guests are requested to register their spot in advance by visiting the official events page at www.artsocma.org.
