Little Cuba festival is back with new date and schedule in Torremolinos

Cuban music, dance and cuisine will fill the Plaza Picasso in Torremolinos this month as the Little Cuba Food and Culture Festival, (Festival Gastro-Cultural “La Pequeña Cuba”) returns with a new date and schedule.

New dates and times confirmed for colourful festivities

Organisers have announced a change to the original schedule, with the festival now running across four consecutive days from Thursday, July 9 right through to Sunday, July 12. Doors open at 4pm each afternoon and festivities continue until midnight, giving visitors plenty of time to sample the atmosphere and get into the Cuban swing.

What’s on offer for guests to enjoy

Guests can enjoy live music, folk dancing, animation and a DJ keeping the party going throughout each fun filled day. Cuban rum cocktails, mojitos and piña coladas will be served with cold crisp Bucanero and Cristal beers, giving visitors a genuine taste of the island. Every evening between 7:30pm and 8:30pm, free face painting will be available for children for the little ones to get in the spirit of the festival not just the adults.

Daily drinks deals worth remembering

Guests will appreciate the daily drinks offers, with all cocktails costing just five euros, with beers and tinto de verano’s priced at one euro each. San Miguel is collaborating on the drinks side of things, ensuring a steady supply throughout the four-day run.

The people behind the event

Asociacion Cubanos Unidos Torremolinos has organised the festival, working in partnership with Torremolinos Town Hall. Their aim is to bring authentic Cuban flavour, tradition and culture to the Costa del Sol for locals and tourists to enjoy together. Dancers in traditional dress, Caribbean rhythms and street food will all come as one, to bring a slice of Havana to Andalucia.

A festival for all to enjoy

Families, couples and groups of friends are all welcome, with the event advertised as suitable for every age group. Plaza Picasso’s central location makes it easy to reach on foot or by public transport, and the extended evening hours mean visitors can drop in after dinner or make a full afternoon of it.

Whether you live close by or are visiting on holiday, if you fancy a change, you can head to the Plaza Picasso for four days of Cuban culture, cocktails, live music and dancing.
