Flavours and fun: Playa Flamenca hosts Tapas Trail for World Mental Health Day

Join the fun at Playa Flamenca Citrus Centre on Saturday, October 5, from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM.

The bars of the centre come together for a tapas trail in support of World Mental Health Awareness.

Visitors can enjoy a tapa and a drink (wine or beer) for just €3.50 as part of the festivities.

Fun Activities

In addition to the tapas trail, the event will feature a tombola, a “Name the Teddy” contest, football cards, and other fun activities.

Les Holloway, Vice President of Samaritans in Spain, praised the participation of local bars: “It’s great to see all the bars at Citrus Centre collaborating to recognise Mental Health Awareness Week once again. This has become a much-anticipated annual event on the Citrus Centre calendar.”
