The Rotary Club of Marbella-East invites locals and everyone in the area to join their first international Moraga Madness, a welcome to the summer on the Costa del Sol.
Community spirit will come alive on June 4 as the Rotary Club of Marbella-East hosts Moraga Madness. This event launches the summer beach party season with food, drinks and live entertainment at Playa del Cable in Marbella.
What makes a moraga special
A moraga represents a classic Andalucian tradition from the Malaga region. Participants gather on the beach for a nighttime barbecue under the stars, enjoying fresh sardines grilled on espetos in beached boats, local food and drinks while sharing music and lots and lots of conversation. Families and friends mark the early days of summer before intense heat arrives. This gathering is all about togetherness through the simple pleasures of sand, sea and great company.
Rotary Club dedication to charity work
Rotary clubs worldwide support vital projects that improve lives in local areas and across the globe. Members raise funds for health initiatives, education programmes, clean water access and poverty relief efforts. Every contribution advances community welfare and international goodwill through practical service actions.
Organisers chose Playa del Cable, located behind Quirón Hospital, for easy access with parking nearby. Guests will start arriving from 7.30pm onwards to experience this first international moraga. Tickets cost 60 euros per person, with all proceeds directed straight to the Rotary Club charity account.
