The aroma of crispy bacon and freshly brewed coffee once again swept through the pine grove of Roda at the end of August, marking another resounding success for the village’s traditional English breakfast. More than 400 locals, visitors, and international residents gathered under the shade from early in the morning of Thursday, August 27, to enjoy a summer classic that bridges cultural divides through mouth-watering food.

A delicious, decade-long tradition born from community integration

What began fourteen years ago as a thoughtful initiative to welcome the growing British community has evolved into an anticipated highlight of the town’s International Day celebrations. Local representative Eulogio Sánchez highlighted how this spirit of integration remains stronger than ever, driven by a dedicated team of British and Irish volunteers. Working from the crack of dawn, the organisers donned their aprons to cook and serve an authentic fry-up, complete with fried eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, and baked beans, all for just €2.50 per plate.

Spanish locals and international visitors join the local Brits for a morning feast

An increasing number of Spanish residents also join the feast each year to savour the hearty dish. Local officials praised the festivity committee and foreign volunteers for their hard work, noting that the gathering serves as clear evidence of the harmony and integration among Roda’s diverse cultures.

A weekend packed with music, food, and tradition

The International Day celebrations continued well into the evening with a lively community dinner that saw roughly 1,000 grilled burgers served alongside live music. The festive atmosphere set the stage for the following, action-packed weekend, featuring a Friday night of barbecue and rumba rhythms, as well as children’s activities, a traditional street party, and late-night migas The festivities concluded on Sunday, August 30 with a morning sardine roast and the solemn mass and procession honouring the patron saint at 8:30pm.

Once again, Roda’s pine grove proved that good food and community spirit remain the ultimate recipe for a truly united summer celebration.
