The Marbella neighborhood of Plaza de Toros will celebrate a new edition of its traditional May Cross on Saturday the 16th, starting at 12:00 PM in the main park, featuring various activities for all audiences. The Councilor for Citizen Participation, Enrique Rodríguez, presented the event today along with the president and the secretary of the neighborhood association, Gerardo López and Rafael Jiménez, respectively, highlighting the trajectory of a group that "has become a benchmark thanks to the daily work they carry out and the initiatives they promote."

The councilor explained that the day will include performances by the Hermanas Cervera Academy and the Rociero Mayores de Marbella group, as well as raffles and entertainment proposals. He also highlighted the preparation of two large paellas with around 500 servings and encouraged citizens "to enjoy a coexistence that has already been established as one of the most participative celebrations of the neighborhood." For his part, Jiménez stated that the cross, which has been made by the residents themselves, will be displayed throughout the day so that it can be visited by both residents and people from other parts of the municipality. Additionally, he mentioned that the youth from the chapel of Our Lady Virgin of Love will keep this space open to facilitate access to the image during the celebration.

Lastly, Jiménez highlighted the collaboration of the Citizen Participation delegation through the municipal subsidy line, which will allow offering the paella servings at a symbolic price of two euros "to help cover the event's expenses," while ensuring that "this meeting is one of the most special of the year."
