Zombie invasion

SATURDAY, April 15 Pilar de la Horadada will be invaded by zombies. This activity which has been arranged by the town hall will take place in the town centre. It begins at 11pm and finishes on Sunday at 5am.

The mayor of the town Susi Sanchez explained that “it is a zombie viral, which is an educational and healthy leisure event with zero alcohol, which promotes sport, teamwork, skill, and fun.”

The event is for all the public over the age of 12, but if aged between 12 and 14 you must be accompanied by an adult and participants aged between 15 and 17 years of age must have the authorisation to participate in the activity.

Various town facilities will be left open for this event. The mission will be to survive and flee from zombies. If they catch you, you must then become part of the zombie horde. Tickets are available on www.viralzombie.es or in Papelería El Pilar, Papelería Emilia, La Papelería de Miryam, and Horaprint.
