The impressive rock Peñón de Ifach, the most emblematic symbol of the Costa Blanca, will preside the First Vegetarian Congress promoted by the Spanish Vegetarian Union (UVE). The Congress will take place at the Hotel Roca Esmeralda, a 3 stars hotel located first line on the beach of Calpe (Alicante). The Congress is intended for both public in general (as a promotion of vegetarianism) and members of the society (as a meeting point, for learning and experience exchange). This meeting will host outstanding activists of the vegetarian movement, and the programme will include workshops, conferences and debates on topics related to vegetarian diets, health and holistic development, animal rights and environmental protection. Also cookery demonstrations will be offered, there will be exhibitors with educational materials, books, etc., and additionally there will be some entertainment activities, excursions, etc. Lectures will be mainly in Spanish, but additional workshops in English can be scheduled if a group of foreign attendants signs up. Vegetarian/vegan food will be available as buffet meals, to meet everyone's requirements.
