Second weekend of August and the leisure plans in Mijas do not run out. The summer is full of cultural events, music, folklore and other activities that during these days will fill the municipality with good moments and anecdotes to remember.

So, this Friday 11th of August, the Torreón square in La Cala will host the cycle 'A la fresca. Music by the sea' which this time will bring the 7th edition of the International Folklore Festival with performances by the Sur de Andalucía dance group from Cala, the Ballet Folklorico de Casanare Foundation from Colombia and the Ciudad de Marbella dance group. Before the shows begin, at 22 hours, there will be a parade through some parts of the seaside town. Admission is free.
