Foreign communities liven up the summer in Marbella

Foreign communities present in Marbella and San Pedro Alcántara will liven up the summer with various events they will organize through August. The array of proposals and the diverse foreign groups that drive them reflect the variety of nationalities living in the municipality, the cosmopolitan nature of Marbella and San Pedro Alcántara, and the cultural richness of the locality. La Fontanilla roundabout will host the 'La pequeña Cuba' festival from April 17 to 19, from 12:00 PM to 11:30 PM, while the Netherlands festival will take place at the same location on April 26 and 27. May 3 will be the turn for Mother's Day, organized by the Filipino community on the boulevard of San Pedro Alcántara from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and on May 8, the Royal Hospital of La Misericordia will host Europe Day. The communities from Paraguay, Argentina, and Venezuela will also celebrate their respective events between May and June at different venues in Marbella, and on Pablo Ráez Boulevard in Marbella, the Ecuadorian community will celebrate the Virgin of the Swan on August 22. "These gatherings provide the opportunity to strengthen community ties and share traditions with neighbors and visitors," state representatives of foreign groups present in the municipality. The municipality has residents from more than 150 countries and exceeds 62,500 registered neighbors, representing a third of the population.
