ON Friday, July 4, Benalmadena and Macharaviaya will celebrate US Independence Day with a vibrant parade honouring Bernardo de Gálvez, a Macharaviaya-born hero of the American Revolutionary War.
Starting at 7pm from the Casa de la Cultura in Arroyo de la Miel, the event features about 100 participants, including flag bearers with Spanish and American flags and reenactors in period costumes, such as Gálvez’s grenadiers.
Macharaviaya is a small Malaga village of around 500 in the Axarquia region and is known for its historical significance, particularly tied to Gálvez, who was named an honorary US citizen in 2014. The parade, which began in Macharaviaya in 2009, has grown into a nationally and internationally recognised event, and this year will be winding through Arroyo de la Miel’s main streets.
Mayor Antonio Campos emphasised the parade as a symbol of the bond between Spain and the US, thanking Benalmadena for their support. The towns share a historical connection through 18th-century figure Félix Solesio, who linked Macharaviaya and Arroyo de la Miel through industrial activities. The event celebrates Gálvez’s legacy, uniting Spanish and American traditions in a festive display of history and camaraderie.
