Everyone in Mijas and surrounds will soon be able to enjoy the live music, international gastronomy and traditional dances at the II Festival Somos Uno (we are one). Organised by the Asociación Cubanos Unidos, the multicultural celebration takes place on the boulevard in La Cala de Mijas from 28 to 31 May. Opening times stretch from 12pm to midnight each day to maximise enjoyment for locals and tourists. Last year’s event was a huge hit with everyone that had the whole of La Cala de Mijas dancing in the streets.

Representatives from eleven nations will be contributing cultural and gastronomic elements to the festival. Argentina joins the Netherlands, Mexico, Cuba, Venezuela, Colombia, Uruguay, Spain, Peru, Chile and Italy in this celebration of unity.
