The elderly from La Cala de Mijas were the protagonists of the fair on Thursday 25th. There were 260 people participating in this traditional celebratory dinner for the elderly that the Mijas Town Hall organises for every fair in the municipality. The Department for Festivities and Traditions also distributed 200 flower pots with coloured begonias to honour the seniors, who enjoyed the evening accompanied by the Ritmo Andaluz Show Orchestra.
“I think the elderly deserve this special day, which is organised with affection. Thanks to them we are here today, they have done so much for the town and many of them have worked so hard. In a way we are grateful for all the work they have done throughout their lives”, explained the mayoress of Mijas, Ana Mata (PP), who wanted to thank them for their effort and dedication. The mayoress highlighted the “joy”, “happiness” and “gratitude” that they conveyed during the dinner. “Tomorrow is Grandparents’ Day, it is Santa Ana and San Joaquín and many have wished me a happy saint’s day, but I have also congratulated them because it is thanks to our elders that we are here today”, added the mayoress.
During the dinner, the Grandfather and Grandmother of the fair were chosen by lottery, two awards that Magdalena Gambero and Manuel Molina received with joy. The evening continued with a lot of dancing by the public to the rhythm of the orchestra and ended with a performance by La Caletera and the La Llave Orquestra.
