Enjoy a night of culture by candlelight on eastern Costa del Sol

Noche en Vela (night in candles) is returning to Vélez-Málaga on Saturday 30 August with culture taking to the streets and public buildings throughout the night.

Organised into ten zones, there is something for all ages from music to dance, theatre, food and drink and guided tours (in Spanish).

The event starts at 8pm on Plaza de las Carmelitas (zone one), followed by a street parade. The plaza will then be given over to children's activities while teenagers can learn more about different music styles in the Canalejas area.
