Caribbean flavour comes to La Cala de Mijas

La Cala de Mijas is set to take on a distinctly Caribbean flavour from Thursday 1 to Sunday 4 October when the ‘La Pequeña Cuba’ gastro-cultural festival arrives in the town for the first time. The festival, which has previously visited several municipalities along the Costa del Sol, aims to celebrate and showcase Cuban culture through food, music, entertainment and traditional crafts.

The event was officially presented by Mijas councillor Melisa Ceballos and Mónica Delgado, president of the Cubanos Unidos association, which is organising the festival in partnership with the town hall.

The festival, which the councillor said will be “a celebration of the multicultural character of Mijas”, will be held in the car park next to the Boulevard, where around ten food and craft stalls will be located.

The festival will open from 12 noon until midnight on Thursday and Sunday, while on Friday and Saturday it will run until 1am.
