Enjoy a Meaningful Culinary Experience
The Charity Dinner at Santa Bárbara Castle was created with a dual purpose: to offer a unique gastronomic and emotional experience in one of the most iconic landmarks of Alicante, and to raise funds that will be donated in full to a foundation with a social mission. ASPANION (Association of Parents of Children with Cancer in the Valencian Community) was founded in 1985 by affected families to ensure the highest possible quality of life for children and adolescents with cancer and their immediate environment. Its main role is to provide psychological and social support, as well as services related to social integration, research, and financial assistance.
The event will take place on December 11 at Santa Bárbara Castle, an emblem of the city rising above the Mediterranean Sea and offering unparalleled views of Alicante, its bay, and its skyline. Dining in this setting—at night and with a carefully crafted atmosphere—turns the evening into an exclusive experience, one that is difficult to replicate elsewhere.
The evening will also feature a very special artistic moment: during dinner, guests will enjoy a live performance by Vera Lu, a jazz singer who blends timeless classics with touches of swing and bossa nova in a repertoire carefully curated for the occasion.
