The councillor highlighted the importance of the people who are part of these associations, who often dedicate their personal time to address the needs of the community. The fair not only seeks to showcase the activities they carry out but also to foster new collaborations and synergies among entities, as well as attract new members.
As a novelty, a catalog-style magazine has been published, which includes information on the 29 participating entities and opinion articles on the role of associativism in Altea. Joaquim Devesa reiterated his gratitude to the entities and introduced Magdalena López del Castillo, who thanked the City Council for the opportunity to publicize the work of the associations.

"We are grateful that they provide us with this space and support us."

The III Altea Associations Fair will open its doors at 10:00h and remain open until 14:00h in the Town Hall Square. The councillor reminded that it is not a fundraising fair, but rather an exhibition space for the many hours of work invested by animal welfare, social protection, economic development, and cultural associations, promising a fun and enjoyable morning.
