Escape to Canary Islands.
THE Region of Murcia is on a roll, and a new flight connection to the Canary Islands is the latest example of how things are improving. Binter’s new Flight Friday promotion makes it easier than ever to fly from Murcia Airport (RMU) to Gran Canaria (LPA), with tickets star-
ting at just €79.75 each way for a round trip. This deal is available for travel from January 1 to March 31, 2025, and is a great sign of how the region is expanding its transport options. With flights three times a week, Murcia is now better connected to the Canary Islands,
offering easy weekend escapes or longer holidays. And for those planning to explore beyond Gran Canaria, passengers can hop on connecting flights to other islands at no extra cost. This new route is just one of many improvements in the region,
following record tourism numbers this year. As Murcia’s reputation continues to rise, new links like this make the region an even more attractive destination for both locals and visitors. Don’t miss out - book your tickets now at bintercanarias.com or through the Binter app!
Crushing Cancer
“A march for life and hope” Image: sanpedrodelpinatar.es
THE annual eighth March Against Cancer in San Pedro del Pinatar has set a new record, with over 800 participants gathering at Lo Pagán’s esplanade to show their support. This heartwarming event, organised by the local chapter of the Spanish Association Against Cancer in the Murcia region, in collaboration with the town’s Department of Social Welfare, sponsors, and partner businesses, was a huge success. The mayor of San Pedro del Pinatar, Pedro Javier Sánchez Aznar, and the President of the Murcia Regional Assembly, Visitación Martínez Martínez, joined the hundreds of locals who rallied together for a cause close to many hearts. This yearly event
aims to raise funds for cancer research and to improve the quality of life for patients battling the disease. With such an overwhelming turnout, the march continues to serve as a reminder of the power of community support in the fight against cancer.
Roots of remembrance.
THIS Christmas, The Square Eatery in Camposol, Mazarron, is doing something a little different. Instead of a decorated tree, they’re setting up an undecorated one outside and inviting everyone to take part in creating a ‘memory tree’. You can write a message on a Christmas label for a loved one you’re missing and hang it on the tree. All they ask in return is a small donation, which will be shared between the MABS Cancer Support Foundation and Noah’s Ark animal shelter. It’s a lovely way to remember those we’ve lost and give back during the festive season. Stop by and join in at The Square Eatery this Christmas!
