At Califa, we are proud to have contributed our small part to the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Pequeño Deseo Foundation, a charity gala held this week in Madrid that brought together numerous companies, artists and personalities united by one cause: to make the wishes of children with serious illnesses come true, supporting them emotionally and bringing smiles in difficult times.

During the event, a charity auction was held, with all proceeds going directly to the Foundation’s projects. Grupo Califa took part by donating a premium weekend getaway at Hotel Plaza 18 in Vejer, including a gastronomic experience at El Jardín del Califa, access to the Hammam del Califa and other thoughtful touches designed to offer wellbeing and relaxation in a truly unique setting.

The Pequeño Deseo Foundation was established in 2000 with the aim of making the wishes of children with serious or chronic illnesses come true as a means of emotional support and a complement to medical treatment. Among its activities are charity galas, auctions of unique experiences, and collaborations with companies and institutions to help more children see their dreams come true.
At Califa, we see tourism as much more than offering accommodation or a good meal. For us, it’s about creating connections, sharing wellbeing and contributing, through what we do best, to a slightly better world.
Collaborating with organisations such as the Pequeño Deseo Foundation is not just a one-off charitable act, but a way of expressing our values and our way of seeing life: with warmth, commitment and soul.
That’s why this getaway we’ve donated represents more than just an experience in Vejer; it’s our way of joining a cause that inspires, moves and reminds us of the power of small gestures.
We would like to thank the Pequeño Deseo Foundation for its tireless work over these 25 years, filled with stories that show how a small gesture can transform a day, a spirit — or even a life.
