Vélez-Málaga presents the Andalusia Day program with new features for the little ones

Vélez-Málaga is gearing up for Andalusia Day and has thus unveiled its schedule to commemorate the autonomous community's day. This year, as a novelty, the council has given "special prominence" to the children's audience to enjoy this date with family. Moreover, the activities will take place on the Paseo de Andalucía.

The celebration, as explained by Lourdes Piña, councilor of Popular Traditions, will start at 12:30 PM with the commemorative institutional act, which will feature the participation of the Vélez-Málaga Municipal Music Band performing the anthem of Andalusia.

Subsequently, at 1:00 PM, the show Vélez-Málaga sings to Andalusia will take place, a proposal that, according to the city council, highlights the talent "from our land" and boosts local artists such as Séfora, Miguel Ángel Fernández, Mónica Cortés, Genoveva Villalba, Sergio Cindindi, and Álvaro Alcaide. Therefore, Piña has pointed out that "on such a prominent day, we want to support our local artists who represent the Andalusian musical sentiment."

From 3:00 PM, the audience can enjoy a vibrant flamenco dance performance by the Cristina Gallardo Academy. At 4:00 PM, it will be the turn of the artist Sarayma, who will continue the day with her talent and energy on stage. Finally, at 6:00 PM, the group Electroduendes will put the finishing touch to the event with their anticipated performance.

The councilor highlighted that "a very complete program has been designed to celebrate such an important day as Andalusia Day, especially supporting artists from our land and a cultural offer designed for all audiences.” In this regard, she emphasized “the importance of giving visibility to the talent from our land and continuing to promote activities that reinforce our traditions and our Andalusian identity.”

As an addition to the musical program, the event will feature a bar service managed by the Brotherhood of Huerto and Desamparados, as well as children's activities. The city council has invited both residents and visitors to join this celebration that commemorates the history of Andalusia.
