Season-ending Dinner and Gala an absolute success

Once again, Salones Mar Blau hosted our end-of-season dinner. 225 people gathered to join us at this now traditional event. The 2016 Red-and-White Spartans Gala was the emotional highlight of the evening, where the winners received the sculptural work by local artist Rafa Vedriel. These were the evening’s awards
