GREETINGS FROM THE MAYORESS
Dear neighbours of La Cala de Mijas:
It is a source of pride for me to welcome you to our beloved La Cala Fair, a few days during which the streets are filled with joy, music, tradition and get-togethers among friends and families, creating memories that will remain with us forever.
This fair represents the very best of our region: the hospitality of our people, the dedication of those who keep our traditions alive, and the enthusiasm with which we open our doors to residents and visitors every year. These are days for sharing, for celebrating our heritage and for continuing to build, together, a town full of life.
I would like to extend a special thank you to everyone whose hard work ensures this celebration shines as it deserves to. Thanks to your commitment, La Cala once again becomes a place of togetherness, fun and pride for us all.
I invite you to savour every moment to the
full: the performances, the daytime fair, the atmosphere at the fairground, our traditions and, above all, the joy of being together again.
I sincerely hope you enjoy an unforgettable fair, full of happiness, respect and wonderful moments.
Long live La Cala! Long live our fair!
Ana Mata Rico Mayoress of Mijas
