Refurbished charity shop offers prize for 1000th visitor

THE BARATILLO BENEFICIO has re-opened following its refurbishment and is offering its 1000^th visitor a €20 voucher.

The lucky shopper could bag a designer bargain from the newly-installed boutique rail, or a classic book from the library corner.

The San Pedro charity shop unveiled its new look on Monday, which includes a wheelchair ramp and a spruced-up interior.

It is run by volunteers for the benefit of Aspandem, which provides daily care, education and accommodation for physically and mentally handicapped children and adults in San Pedro de Alcantara.

It also makes donations to other local charities including Cudeca, a Malaga hospice.

The shop is located at c/ Marques de Estella #22-24, opposite Proteccion Civil and is open 10-1, Monday to Friday.
