In La Canasta, as well as the locals, English and Dutch people also have these days for breakfast and for the afternoon snack: ‘pestiños’, pasties and ‘huesos de santo’. “The ‘buñuelo’ (sweet fritter) is the star product at this time of year, you give it to the tourists to try and they like it; the ‘huesos de santo’ is more Spanish, while the children prefer Halloween

chocolates”, explained the coowner of La Canasa, Concha Blanco. True to its philosophy of supporting seasonal products, La Canasta fills its display cases with fritters of all flavors, kinder, vanilla, cream and nougat ‘huesos de santo’ made of egg yolk or sweet potato; chocolates in the shape of vampires or pumpkins; butter cookies and filled cupcakes. All this, Concha assures, is offered to foreigners so that they can try it. “They take these to their countries because they find the filling very tasty and they like it”, said Concha
The tradition of
All Saints’ Day
These are days of gathering around a table sharing a tray of ‘buñuelos de viento’ or ‘huesos de santo’, of ordering bouquets and arrangements of carnations or chrysanthemums to visit those who are no longer with us and leave them a memento in the form of a floral arrangement. Traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation and although nowadays they coexist with others from other countries, they continue to maintain their raison d’être in Mijas. “We live in a municipality with more than 150 nationalities but I believe that we must always support what is ours,
our traditions; we cannot lose sight of where we come from and the important days we have in the calendar that represent our culture”, said the mayoress of Mijas, Ana Mata (PP), who visited the bakery Las Torres, in Las Lagunas, and encouraged neighbours to “appreciate local commerce, that commerce that is committed to quality products”.
For the mayoress, “‘Mijas with soul’ aims precisely to support Mijas and its content and that the 1st of November is the day that all families have always spent together remembering our deceased, gathering around a table with
TASTE
OF AUTUMN
“When the cold weather and rainy days start, people feel like staying at home or going out for a snack, so many traditional sweets that are not usually made during the rest of the year are made, such as ‘buñuelos’, ‘huesos de santo’ and ‘empanadillas’”, explained the co-owner of this business, Francisco González. Sweet potato and egg yolk, he said, continue to be the flavours par excellence
‘huesos de santo’, ‘rosquillas’ and ‘buñuelos’”. Ana Mata also stressed the importance of spreading this tradition among those who come from abroad, “just as they encourage us to celebrate Halloween”.
Local commerce
of these sweets, although new tastes are opening up, “such as kinder, lotus and lemon”. They are not only being adapted to the new times, but also to all ages. That is why, as well as traditional cakes, you can also find butter and fondant biscuits in María Quero’s bakery, much in demand by children for Halloween, and which, said Francisco, “are also very popular at this time of year”.
In addition to Las Torres, the Quero bakery in Mijas Pueblo and La Canasta in La Cala also take advantage of these days to fill their display cases with typical sweets of this festivity, also opting for more innovative formulas that come from the Anglo-Saxon tradition. The activity has also been
frenetic for some weeks now in the florists’s of the area, where the orders for floral arrangements to pay tribute to the deceased on their day have been pouring in. We went to Floristería Iris to get a closer look at the preparations for All Saints’ Day.

As All Saints’ Eve approaches, Las Torres bakery gives its display cases a very autumnal look. In Las Lagunas, there is no excuse for not buying a good assortment of traditional products and enjoy the evenings at the end of October with one of its exquisite snacks.
In the heart of sector 31, specifically in Calle Velázquez, Las Torres bakery has the perfect variety of sweets to commemorate All Saints’ Day as in the olden days. “The All Saint’s long weekend is a very important date and the truth is that people are looking for traditional things like ‘roscos de huevo’, ‘pestiños’, ‘borrachuelos’, ‘huesos de santo’...” explained the owner of this establishment, Leticia de Vaca who, as well as offering these traditional recipes, with pastry cream or toasted yolk, also offers more innovative fillings such
as ‘kinder bueno’ and chocolate. “I have taken an assortment with a little bit of everything, ‘borrachuelos’ with sugar and honey, ‘huesos de santo’ and ‘empanadas de cabello de ángel’”, confessed the mayoress, who visited the bakery on Monday 28th.

FLOWERS TO HONOUR THE DECEASED
A MEMENTO FOR

Another sector that does not stop these days is the flower sector. The tradition of visiting our deceased in the cemetery on the 1st and 2nd of November is still deeply rooted, so many people start to order their floral arrangements from midSeptember onwards.

The owner of Floristería Iris, Inmaculada Pérez, said that “here in Mijas this tradition is still going on, because I even have clients whose relatives have been cremated and on All Saints’ Day they buy flowers”. She also pointed out that less and less flowers are being purchased on the spot and more and more orders are being placed. Since mid-September, her stall at the municipal market in Mijas Pueblo has been bustling with activity. Most of the flowers come
from Colombia, Ecuador and Holland and, for this reason, orders must be placed at least ten days in advance. “By far the best sellers are carnations, paniculata, roses and chrysanthemums, which was almost forgotten and is now very fashionable”, she pointed out and assured that, as for the orders, “the most popular orders are arrangements for pots, which are more attractive than bouquets”. These days, a large part of the family is involved in the family business. Last year, in just three days, some 400 orders were completed, so all help is welcome.

The golf sector will have a privileged place for the municipality at the London tourism fair
Report by Isabel Merino
From the 4th to the 7th of November, London will become the main hub for the international tourism industry. The celebration of the World Travel Market (WTM), one of the most important tourism fairs, will host the main agents, institutions and operators in the sector.
The Mijas Town Hall, through the Tourism Department, attends the event to reinforce its position as one of the strategic destinations not only in the Costa del Sol and Spain, but also in the international market. Following the strategy initiated in the last edition of Fitur, the municipality will be presented to visitors as a unique destination for the “sensory and evocative

will have a privileged place in this London tourism fair
experience it offers”. With ‘Mijas, as you like it’ as the main line of work, the Town Hall attends this important fair with an agenda of meetings and encounters with different operators to reinforce the positioning of Mijas in the international market.
In this regard, the mayoress of the city, Ana Mata (PP), stressed the importance of international tourists for the municipality, especially the British, whose relevance is beyond doubt. “Mijas is not only a destination, it is a sensation, and it is precisely this evocative and

sensory character that makes us a unique destination that offers possibilities and services that visitors do not find anywhere else”, said the mayoress.
This is evidenced by the data that, in recent months, the Costa del Sol Hotel Entrepreneurs Association (Aehcos) has been providing and which have placed Mijas as one of the leading destinations in the province of Malaga. In fact, from June to September the average occupancy rate recorded was 90.94%, “data that show all the goodness that define us and in which we must keep working to maintain, improve and strengthen our character as leaders”, said the mayoress.
For his part, the councillor for Tourism, Francisco Jerez (Vox), referred to the important work carried out by the tourist offices in the municipality, “gateway to tourists, to whom they offer an efficient, very professional and attentive service”, as reflected in the statistics and which show that the British market occupies almost 20% of the queries they receive, being the most numerous traveler after the national tourist.
A key event
to boost the golf sector
Without a doubt, the golf segment is absolutely essential for Mijas. Not only for the number of courses but also for their quality and routes, characteristics that position the municipality in a very advantageous and privileged place to attract a visitor that brings great benefits.
17%
of the courses of the Coast
Talking about golf is talking about quality tourism, differentiated offer and commitment, and Mijas is a benchmark in this sport and a key operator. In fact, it gathers 17% of the golf courses of the Costa del Sol, being the second municipality with the largest offer.
MIJAS,
leader in tourist packages
The latest data recorded show that, since the pandemic, the average expenditure of the golf tourist in Mijas has gone from 120 euros per day to more than 200 euros. In addition, Mijas is a leader in golf tourism packages.
Launch of the circuit SUN&GOLF
The launch of the 1st Mijas Sun & Golf golf circuit, held from June to August, in which six golf courses in the municipality were involved, “highlights the strategic nature of this sector and, furthermore, with the help of ‘Mijas, as you like it’ it consolidates and strengthens its position in the golf tourism segment”.
“Mijas is not only a destination, it is a sensation, and it is this evocative and sensory character that makes us a unique destination that offers possibilities and services that visitors do not find anywhere else”
ANA MATA Mayoress of Mijas (PP)
“The tourist offices play a very important role in the municipality, as they are the gateway to tourists, to whom they offer an efficient, very professional and attentive service”

to be held at 10 hours, due to the death of more than 150 people as a result of the DANA. This decision was taken minutes before that time, in an emergency meeting held by all members of the government team and the opposition.
It was the mayoress , Ana Mata (PP), who announced this decree: “We have decided with the rest of the political groups to postpone the plenary session to Monday 4th of November at half past eight in the morning. From here, we express our condolences to all those families who are going through very sad times, we want to accompany these families in
The Foreigners Department offers a new talk aimed at British residents
Issues such as the exchange of driving licences or how to obtain a residence card were discussed
N.L. The Foreigners Department organized on Wednesday 30th an informative talk aimed especially at British residents, who are the majority among the foreign population settled in the municipality. An activity that took place in the Branch Office in La Cala de Mijas to address issues of particular interest to this group.
“One of them is the driving licence, the exchange of the British licence for a Spanish one, especially focused on UK
nationals who are resident here and who drive here for many months during the year”, said the councillor for Foreigners, Mario Bravo (PP). “The aim on this occasion is to explain to British nationals how to exchange their licences at the Traffic Department and how to make an appointment, so we are offering a very practical talk”, said lawyer Victoria Westhead Another of the topics to be discussed was how to obtain a residence card through the
appropriate thing to do. Meanwhile, our mayoress has made available to the authorities of Valencia all the resources that we can share and to demonstrate that the solidarity of the Spanish people, in this case of the Mijeños, is not only in word, but also in deed. This is what we will do for the next three days until the situation improves”.

their suffering for their missing persons to appear. We would also like to convey our deepest affection to all those forces who are doing an exceptional job”.
Assessments
The PP councillor Mario Bravo, who acted as spokesman for the government team, said that “although the mourning decree does not prohibit the celebration of plenary sessions, we have considered it appropriate to postpone it to the next working day. It is a matter that has been agreed with the other municipal spokespersons and we believe it is the most
‘arraigo’ procedure, and another issue was the changes in the procedure for British citizens to enter and leave the European Union. Experts in the field provided answers to all these questions. “I am here to talk to the British who were unable to process the Brexit card and are in Spain and to give them alternatives so that they can regularise their situation, have documentation and live in Spain legally”, said lawyer Jorge Postigo With Brexit, the situation and conditions have changed. “We don’t want to lose resident tourists and neither do the British who live here and want to return to their country every 90 days, it’s about making things easy for them”, explained Bravo. For his part, Nathaniel Amos, from FCDO, said that “I am here to explain to the British how the entry and exit system works”. In this way, they were informed of all the alternatives that the law offers them in each case so that they can stay in Spain.
The councillor of the Socialist Municipal Group in Mijas Josele Gonzalez said that “we join the pain of each and every one of these neighbours, of these relatives who are suffering this circumstance. I am convinced that there are many Mijeños who have family in Valencia, many Valencians who live in Mijas, who are suffering first hand from this circumstance. I would also like to send an encouraging message to the sister municipalities: Álora, Cártama, Almogía, Valle de Abdalajís, Villanueva de la Concepción, which have also been tremendously affected by these floods, where we have also had a death in Alhaurín de la Torre”.
The spokesperson for the Ciudadanos Municipal Group, José Carlos Martín , also wanted to show his support for the victims and thank the security forces for the work they are doing: “We would like to send our condolences to all those relatives who, unfortunately, have lost a loved one in these circumstances, to send them our encouragement, to send them our strength and to let them know that, although we are not there, we are with them. Above all, may they have a lot of strength, a lot of courage in such a complicated situation”.
F.M.R. The Domestic Animal Shelter (PAD) association of Mijas had scheduled for this Saturday 2nd of November its traditional autumn market which is usually held in the Branch Office Square in La Cala de Mijas. However, due to the natural catastrophe caused by the DANA, which has mainly affected the Valencian people, the PAD leaders have decided to postpone this charity market. As a sign of respect, the event has been postponed until a new date which has not yet been announced. PAD has stated that in a few days they will inform of the new date for the market, with which they periodically raise funds to continue with their social and animal protection work. At this market you can buy clothes, accessories, food... at the same time as informing the curious about the work that PAD carries out and the animal adoptions that can be made.

Idiliq brings back the Smile Mile in aid of the AECC
After a break of several years, the III Smile Mile was held with the help of the Sports Department of the Mijas Town Hall
Francisco M. Romero
Before the rain started, last Sunday 27th the Smile Mile took place, the third one organized by the Idiliq Foundation, with the collaboration of the Sports Department of Mijas, in aid of the Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC). Idiliq rescues, thus, the Smile Mile, which was held in the vicinity of the Wyndham Grand Costa del Sol, and which had a solidarity purpose, since the funds raised are intended for cancer research.
The president of the Idiliq Foundation, Juan Miguel Marcos, emphasized that “it is a very special day, we are back with this walk. It was a success in the past and that is why we wanted to revive it. We thought of doing it in October, a month in which we do so many actions in favor of the AECC, so this is the perfect finale”. Idiliq decided to resume this solidarity event coinciding with the celebration of its 25th anniversary.
For the president of AECC in Mijas, Lola Sanchís, “with this event we close everything we have been doing in the month of October for breast cancer” and, thanked Idiliq

A.M. In Mijas, solidarity has an appointment on the last Saturday of each month in La Cala. On the 26th, the traditional solidarity tables once again brought together locals and visitors willing to cooperate. The Branch Office Square in La Cala hosted one more time this initiative of the Foreigners department which, as its slogan says, invites us to make solidarity our gift this year. The designer and artist Helen Bellart collaborated in this edition to support Mijas Felina: “I am not a member, but I always try to help with my art and design creations, and all the money raised goes to the association”.
On these tables we find a wide variety of travel items, hair accessories and second-hand clothes, among other options. Charity groups such as the Lions Club, Mijas Felina and Donkey Dreamland often participate in the fundraising initiative. Wietse Haak, a volunteer at Donkey Dreamland, highlighted the importance and interest generated by this event “because there are
many people from England, Iceland and other countries, who really like donkeys and want to make a financial donation”.
One of these visitors was Dani Arroyo, who also appreciated the involvement of the foreign community: ‘Thank God, there are many people here, especially British residents who do a lot for the community”, he explained, adding that “Mi-
existence and collaboration that we wanted attend because the AECC does really important work”.
The race started at eleven o’clock in the morning and had a distance of 1.6 kilometres. After the walk, the day continued with a party with food, drink, entertainment and a charity market.

The Costa Soul Singer choir was also present again at this event, where collaboration and support come together to help different charitable causes. Remember that this campaign takes place on the last Saturday of each month from 11 to 14 hours.
A.M. On Sunday, 27th of October, Mijas joined in a very special event: a charity lunch in aid of stray cats, specifically, to help Mijas Felina. This is the fifth consecutive year that this collective organizes this popular solidarity paella, which in its previous edition gathered about 140 people. Manuela Bernardo, secretary of Mijas Felinas, explained that all the proceeds will go to help these felines who need it so much. “Everything will be used to feed them and, above all, to help with veterinary expenses. Clearly it has to be paid for, and it is the association that pays for it since we do not receive subsidies”, said Bernardo.
SOLIDARITY
The paella, both mixed and vegetarian, has become a symbol of solidarity, complemented, on this occasion, by a delicious sponge cake prepared by the volunteers. Among the collaborators was the restaurant where the event was held, Roberto’s in Calahonda. Its chef, Roberto González, explained that “due to lack of time I cannot collaborate in any other way, but we have always had animals at home, so helping them runs in the family”.
This year, in addition to gastronomy, attendees were able to enjoy a market with crafts and a variety of products for cats. Solidarity calendars with pictures of cats were also available.

B.Martín. Live music, good atmosphere, bar service and an area where interested attendees could deposit cleaning products for the animal groups PAD (Domestic Animal Shelter) and Aristochat, food for animals and other donations. These were the ingredients of this charity party organised by the El Juncal Neighbourhood Association in the Manuel España Theatre on Friday 25th of October. Ángeles Muñoz, member of the board of directors of the association, said that ‘We knew that these animal groups needed funds. They have no help, almost none, they are already in almost crisis, and we told them that we were going to do something to help them’. This event had the participation of Deja Vu, Rock
Revival and Tributo Rock Band, who performed selflessly. Luis Serrano, a member of Rock Revival, said before their concert that “there is a very good vibe among all the bands to collaborate with these issues”. The animal associations PAD and Aristochat expressed their gratitude because, they say, their work is becoming more complicated every year. This is what Chantal Lancelot, president of Aristochat, said: “We need a lot, every year there is more abandonment, specially of domestic cats and that is a big problem. We get a lot of calls and it’s a pity because I can’t take care of more animals. I care for 200 and we need more donations, more space and more volunteers, something we don’t have’.
