On Sunday, 27th of October, Mijas joined in a very special event: a charity lunch in aid of stray cats, specifically, to help Mijas Felina. This is the fifth consecutive year that this collective organizes this popular solidarity paella, which in its previous edition gathered about 140 people.

Manuela Bernardo, secretary of Mijas Felinas, explained that all the proceeds will go to help these felines who need it so much. “Everything will be used to feed them and, above all, to help with veterinary expenses. Clearly it has to be paid for, and it is the association that pays for it since we do not receive subsidies”, said Bernardo.

The paella, both mixed and vegetarian, has become a symbol of solidarity, complemented, on this occasion, by a delicious sponge cake prepared by the volunteers. Among the collaborators was the restaurant where the event was held, Roberto’s in Calahonda. Its chef, Roberto González, explained that “due to lack of time I cannot collaborate in any other way, but we have always had animals at home, so helping them runs in the family”.

This year, in addition to gastronomy, attendees were able to enjoy a market with crafts and a variety of products for cats. Solidarity calendars with pictures of cats were also available.
