Next Friday, the 1st of May, International Labour Day, the Plaza del Torreón in La Cala de Mijas will once again be the venue, from 12 noon, for the traditional 'Sardinada', which this year will distribute over 600 kilos of sardines to the public. This was announced on Monday morning by the mayoress, Ana Mata (PP), accompanied by the councillor for Festivities, Silvia Marín (PP), who outlined the details of an event that is now firmly established as one of the municipality’s traditions.

As usual, local 'espeteros' will be in charge of skewering the fish on El Torreón beach. A large marquee and a bar will be set up there, managed by the Puerto de los Gatos Neighbourhood Association, whose secretary, Ana María Jiménez, attended the presentation. “This gathering is an opportunity to share, to reconnect, to enjoy our traditions and to proudly showcase the best of our region to visitors. The 'Sardinada' is much more than just gastronomy; it is culture, it is the history of Mijas and it is our identity”, explained the mayoress during the event’s presentation. Furthermore, to ensure the day is a proper celebration, performances by the groups Los Zayas and Kalima are scheduled to begin at 15:30 hours.
