On Saturday 7th July, more than a hundred people gathered in the beautiful gardens of the prestigious Buchinger Wilhelmi Marbella Clinic to enjoy Daniel Casares' flamenco charity concert, raising more than €2,000 entirely to help us.

On arrival, attendees were awarded our sunflower symbol. The event began with a welcome brief speech from the director of the clinic, Katharina Rohrer, who thanked the attendees for their support of the admirable work of the Cudeca Hospice.

The CUDECA representative, Assumpta Eceiza Nebreda, Financial and Facilities Manager of CUDECA, pointed out that there were many years of collaboration between CUDECA and the Buchinger Clinic and that "we hope that, with the help of Buchinger Wilhelmi Marbella, we can continue offering these excellent charity concerts for many more years", stated she with enthusiasm.

As for the musical repertoire offered by the artists, Daniel Casares' ensemble seduced the audience with themes from his new show, Palo Santo: "a mixture of feelings and musicality that makes this show a volcano of sensations", according to the artist himself. Some other songs from his previous album, Picassares, were also performed during the evening. The spacious stage was set up in the centre of the main garden of the clinic surrounded by leafy cork oaks from which lanterns with candles were hung inside creating the right atmosphere to enjoy this charity recital. The attendees also had the opportunity to taste the exquisite natural juices of the Clinic.

We would like to deeply thank the Buchinger Wilhelmi Marbella Clinic for organising this concert in a totally altruistic and supportive manner with the sole aim of raising funds to support the charity.

At the age of 16, he was awarded the prestigious Bordón minero de La Unión, becoming the youngest guitarist to date to achieve it.
