The event is part of the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Tuna de Medicina de Málaga and as stated by its leader, Rafael Zuazo, "we have chosen Mijas because we have a long tradition of coming to town throughout the year, they let us play in the bars, on the street, the people know us and, the truth is that we feel very loved here”.
In short, a fun and original event that promises to leave all those who want to attend with their heads full of lyrics and coplillas, such as 'Clavelito de mi corazón' or 'Cielito lindo', which they won't forget for a long time and won't stop humming them.
