Fuengirola celebrates this Sunday the 14th Dog Day on the hillside of Castillo Sohail

Fuengirola will celebrate this Sunday, April 6, the 14th Dog Day at the hillside of Sohail Castle. The day will start at 10:30 AM in Plaza de España, where the traditional canine march to the fortress will begin, which will be the scene of activities and exhibitions for pet lovers to enjoy with their dogs. The event will feature an adoption area where interested families can adopt a pet from the Fuengirola zoosanitary park, where abandoned animals looking for a home are collected. Sohail Castle will also have stands from businesses and establishments related to the animal world, such as dog groomers, pet stores, and veterinary clinics, which will offer promotions, discounts, and special rates for those participating in Dog Day. There will also be a zone dedicated to animal associations and shelters, where they will showcase their work in animal care and welfare. There will also be a dining area managed by the Spanish Association Against Cancer, for all those who want to have a snack or a plate of paella, "and collaborate so that the association can achieve its goals," as stated by the Councilor for Health, Francisco Javier García Lara (PP). The Sunday event will start at ten-thirty in the morning at Plaza de España, in front of the Town Hall. Those who come there will receive a commemorative gift of Dog Day, with the idea that at about 10:45 AM the march through Cuesta Street towards the Paseo Marítimo in the direction of Sohail Castle will begin. "The idea is that we arrive at about eleven-thirty in the morning at the hillside of the castle and from that moment we can enjoy gymkhanas with dog trainer José Luque, exhibitions", as explained by the Councilor for Urban Ecology, José Sánchez (PP). This year, as a novelty, there will be sports associated with pets, as the company that manages paddle surfing in the municipality will offer free rides with the pet for a couple of hours, from eleven to one in the afternoon. In addition, approximately every 20 minutes there will be a raffle of products donated by the associations and businesses participating in Dog Day.
