The four municipal markets in Alicante are rallying to fight breast cancer. Throughout October, the City Council will distribute charity boxes across these venues to raise funds in support of direct care programs for women affected by the disease.

The Councillor for Markets, Lidia López, visited the Central Market to support this charitable initiative. During her visit, she emphasized that "the markets are collaborating in this important awareness and fundraising campaign to improve the lives of women affected by breast cancer."
