Mijas Pueblo will become the heart of Latin culture this week, as the beautiful village hosts one of the most exciting free events of the summer. Running from Thursday, June 18 through Sunday, June 21, the Mijas Gastro Latin Festival [III Festival Gastrolatino de Mijas] will bring four evenings packed with live music, sensational food from across Latin America, tropical cocktails, and family-friendly entertainment.

The event was officially announced by Mijas councillor Melisa Ceballos, and festival promoter Rafael Urquiza of Roots Productions. Urquiza described the upcoming celebration as four days of bachata, salsa, merengue, Colombian folk music and gastronomy, loaded with joy.

Star-studded tribute acts and live music

Music is at the heart of this festival, featuring a high-quality line-up of tribute performances dedicated to some of the biggest names in Latin music history. Audiences can enjoy electrifying shows paying homage to salsa superstar Marc Anthony, Colombian folk legend Carlos Vives, Dominican merengue icon Juan Luis Guerra and his band 4.40, and the King of Bachata himself, Romeo Santos.

Organisers confirmed that many of the performing artists and international salsa groups have previously appeared on well-known Spanish television talent shows, including Talent Land and The Voice, ensuring a spectacular experience each evening.

A feast of authentic Latin American flavours

No Latin festival would be complete without a rich foody experience, and this event delivers. The dedicated gastronomic zone will feature food trucks and stalls representing around ten Latin American nations. Visitors can savour authentic dishes including Colombian corn cakes, Cuban sandwiches, Chilean sandwiches, and traditional Argentine meats, all complemented by tropical drinks from a specialized cocktail bar.

Family entertainment and community awards

The four-day festival has been designed with all generations in mind. Doors open at 6pm each day, with the early evening programme holding children’s entertainment and fairground-style attractions. A comfortable seating terrace will also be available for visitors who prefer to relax and enjoy the atmosphere.

A major moment of the weekend will be the presentation of the Latin Person of the Year award. This edition will recognise a well-known local hospitality figure for their outstanding and longstanding contribution to the Mijas community.

This exciting event is now in its third year in Mijas, and its ninth as part of the wider Latin Festival in Andalucia.

Essential event information

The 3rd Mijas Gastro Latin Festival takes place at the Plaza Virgen de la Peña in Mijas Pueblo. The event runs from Thursday, June 18 to Sunday, June 21, starting at 6pm until late each evening.

Rincon De La Victoria Land Rights – Become A Land Developer For €1

Property developers and investors can now have the chance to snap up valuable buildable land rights in Rincon de la Victoria through a new online auction starting at symbolic €1.

The auction relaunch follows no bids in the initial round

Specialist platform Escrapalia relaunched the sale of development rights tied to Finca Registral 3219 within sector UR R-3 Los Algarrobos in the Malaga area. Auctioneers originally set the starting auction price last month at just over €33,000 with no offers received. They now value the asset at €63,700 and list it for symbolic bids from €1.

Substantial buildable space awaits the successful bidder

Rights cover more than 360 square metres of floor area dedicated entirely to free housing without any social housing quota. This factor boosts appeal compared to similar zones along the Malaga coastline. The original plot size reached 1,796 square metres and accounted for 2.23 per cent participation in the sector.

Auctioneers handled the land sale through economic reparcelling since it fell short of minimum size for an independent plot of land. Such measures transform the holding into a liquid and transferable asset suitable for various uses.

Urbanisation expenses form a key part of acquisition

The successful bidder will take on proportional urbanisation costs estimated at over €33,700 based on provisional sector accounts. Participants in the auction can apply this right as compensation currency in allocation surpluses or view it as a financial investment linked to final land value.

Bidding window closes early July

The current auction runs until 12.30pm on July 7. If you’re interested, registration on Escrapalia requires an €8,000 guarantee deposit, fully refundable for unsuccessful bidders.

The asset stems from the company liquidation process

Rights originate from the winding up of the company Promociones Barranco y Carrillo under the supervision of the Commercial Court in Cordoba. Potential buyers include promoters seeking to complete buildability on nearby plots, institutional investors focused on low-risk urban assets with strong liquidity, and funds targeting land appreciation across the Malaga metropolitan area.

Sector reaches advanced development stage

The Los Algarrobos area sits in the final urban development phase with an approved urbanisation project and completed environmental procedures. Council officials stand ready to issue building licences immediately. Location north of the A-7 motorway places the zone near established residential communities such as Montesol.

This opportunity delivers a low-entry route into Malaga province property development amid ongoing demand for housing stock in prime coastal locations. Participants benefit from full ownership flexibility and potential for swift project advancement once acquired.

The Costa Calida city of Cartagena has given a historic boost to its policies in aid of seniors in the municipality with the 16th edition of the Senior Citizens’ Fair, an event that brought together a total of 42 organisations in the Parque de los Juncos. The fair also represents the tripling of the budget for the aid to seniors in the last two years, and this “comprehensive and successful model of active aging” will be presented to the World Health Organisation in San Sebastian as a glowing example of how to help the more elderly residents of the municipality.

A vibrant celebration of senior citizens with everything from health checks to live performances

The 16th Senior Citizens’ Fair, which was open on Saturday, June 13 and Sunday, June 14, was a vibrant showcase of the resources available in Cartagena for the elderly population. The event featured a strong presence from local neighbourhood associations, women’s groups, senior citizens’ clubs (including those in Perin, El Albujon, Miranda, and Santa Ana), and non-profit organisations, including the Red Cross and Caritas San Diego.

During the weekend, attendees had uninterrupted access to hearing tests, blood pressure checks, blood glucose tests, and diabetes screenings. The fair’s programme, apart from these health-related initiatives, also included a fun aspect, with demonstrations and workshops, collections for charities, social events, musical performances, and active events.

Active participation to commemorate World Elder Abuse Awareness Day

Additionally, Sunday, June 14 saw a strong social focus to the fair with the commemoration of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, which is officially observed on Monday, June 15. Cartagena observed this day with an active hike along the Senior Trail to the Castillo de la Concepcion at 11:30am, as well as a reading of the institutional manifesto to reaffirm Cartagena’s commitment to the well-being and protection of its senior citizens.

Projects to protect senior citizens in Cartagena

In total, the 42 active organisations participating in the Senior Citizens’ Fair boast more than 10,000 members across the Region of Murcia and beyond. These organisations work to prevent and combat senior loneliness, make the digital divide more manageable for seniors, help boost health initiatives, and tackle other problems that disproportionately affect the older residents of the Costa Calida.

One such project is ‘Neighbourhood Neighbour,’ an initiative created to combat unwanted loneliness and which is already operating successfully in areas including the Old Town, San Anton, and El Algar, and will soon reach Pozo Estrecho.

The Cartagena City Council, in total, has exceeded €11 million in its investment to essential services for senior citizens, including home care, respite care, telecare, and day centres.

This venue offers the best setting for the occasion with its location overlooking the sea.
