Our neighbouring town of Torremolinos celebrates the 24th edition of its annual “Día del Pescaito” where tourists and visitors to the famous La Carihuela strip will be treated to 12.000 kilos of fish delicacies from the Málaga region.
It’s a thoroughly recommended couple of hours where you’ll be able to try some of the famous and typical fried fish dishes which La Carihuela is famous for. Best part is that it’s all free – and you get to wash it all down with a cool beer!
The party starts at 1 pm and goes on until 5 pm; I recommend you get there early if you don’t want to miss out! This event is organised by the Torremolinos Tourism Delegation with the collaboration of the local business associations of La Carihuela-Montemar and has become one of the town’s most popular celebrations.
Live music and young hosts dressed in typical costumes handing out free flowers contribute to a very enjoyable afternoon on the Carihuela!
Last month, the Spanish Tourist Board (Turespaña) launched 13 new videos on their Youtube channel.
These impressive videos all form part of the new “Spain Timelapse Series”. They have been produced using a special photographic technique called “Timelapse” which consists in taking photos (they took over 300,000 photos to prepare the 13 videos in the series) at a much lower speed than that of reproduction. This means that when the whole sequence of photos is reproduced, reality seems to have been fast forwarded, creating a video with somewhat peculiar and “different” effects.
I’ve embedded one of the videos below which shows the beautiful area of Andalucia, albeit from a more modern and innovative point of view.
The video showcases the regions cultural attractions, it’s most emblematic cities, the wide choice of hotels and accommodation – from charming rural hotels in the interior to 5 star wonders on the shores of the Mediterranean – and, of course, the wide range of entertainment and services that visitors can enjoy in this wonderful part of Spain.
This weekend, visitors to the traditional village of Mijas wont be spending their time visiting the usual tourist attractions and riding on the famous Mijas donkeys!

This exclusive event has been jointly organised by Ain’t Nothin But the Blues Bar in London and the Mijas Town Council Foreigner’s Department; anyone planning on attending will be happy to know that all the music is FREE J, just make sure you turn up early as they’re expecting large crowds!

James Bond fans, or to be more precise, fans of the music from James Bond films, are in for a real treat this weekend. On Saturday evening (28th May) Trevor Brooks and his team at Entertain in Spain will be presenting their latest production which pays tribute to songs from all the favourite James Bond films.
