"On this occasion," said Pellicer, "it will be Luis Cáceres, retired captain of carabineros and owner of the first house built on the beach of Levante who will greet Tía María who will be the one who will invite us to visit the Hort de Colón to surprise us with their stories about Benidorm of yesteryear ". The dramatized visits will take place on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, from 9.30 pm to 10.30 pm. They will begin on July 4 and end on September 28. " Ana Pellicer recalled "the great success" that the initiative had the previous year and has advised those who want to enjoy this trip to the past of the city, to book the visit since, as pointed out by Antonio Couto, "for reasons of space and security "representations" are limited to twelve people per session ".

Music for the elderly

On weekends, said Pellicer, "after the pedestrianization and the silence that the street has won we will dedicate Saturdays to Jazz and Sundays to Classical music".
