FOUNDRAISING AUCTIONS -SALAMANCA-

The solidarity market of pyfano began five years ago and arose from the need to raise funds so that the association could continue to develop its work, but experience has taught us that the "magic spirit" that is created in the market is not only a search for economic resources - transmitted from the association - but people come year after year to live an experience in which they are distracted looking for hidden treasures inside the donated pieces, and share with the volunteers of the association anecdotes and past events.
