The carnival celebrations will take place in all three urban centres, on the 7th of February in Las Lagunas, on the 8th in La Cala and on the 15th in Mijas Pueblo. This was announced by the councillor for Festivities and Traditions, Silvia Marín (PP), who explained that “there will be three celebrations this year, full of colour and joy, and all residents are invited to participate”. There will also be a special performance by the ‘murga’ ‘La Periférica’ (a band of street musicians).
