There will also be two charity events, a picnic and a dinner to benefit the CADI Association, as well as innovative proposals such as laughter yoga, a massage marathon and a bobbin lace exhibition. "We have managed to create an event where the whole family can enjoy a host of very original and participatory options," said the ambassador of the meeting, Lucía Romero, who recalled that last year the municipality won the award for the most active city in the world for the extensive programme organised.

Direct flights have put this West African country on the winter sun map for the British market. An example of this is TUI, which was already promoting the destination, hand in hand with Spanish hotelier RIU, and which for the winter of 2024 will even bring the flights forward even further, starting on 7 October.
Also committed to the destination is the specialised tour operator The Gambia Experience, which not only offers direct flights to Dakar, but also offers connections via river ferry after landing in Banjul (Gambia). Karen Durham, product manager for The Gambia Experience, points out that Senegal, unlike other destinations, offers a taste of African culture and French-influenced cuisine (along with local dishes), and wildlife experiences where you can witness big game in its natural habitat.
