La Cala de Mijas Prepares for Its Fair, Featuring Nacha Pop, Javi Medina, and Paco Candela

La Cala de Mijas is gearing up to celebrate its Fair from this Tuesday 22nd until Sunday 27th, featuring performances by Nacha Pop, Javi Medina, and Paco Candela, along with daytime festivities and children's activities.

Following the opening speech on the 11th by local Paco Lozano, in the words of its mayor, Ana Mata, comes "one of Mijas' summer must-attend events." The La Cala Fair will kick off at 9:00 PM with the Tribute Dinner to the Elderly; an event gathering around 300 people from this fishing community, during which the Grandfather and Grandmother of the Fair are chosen. Right after this, the first concert of the Fair, featuring Manuel Orta, is scheduled.

The Grandfather and Grandmother of the Fair will join the mayor at 10:30 PM to switch on the extraordinary lighting. The 22nd will also be the day for reduced prices on children's rides, celebrating Children's Day.

Furthermore, considering individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), every day from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, the noise from the rides will be reduced, which will all play the same background music to minimize noise pollution as much as possible.

On the 23rd, the traditional selection of the King and Queen of the festival will take place. To liven up the day, a performance by the group El Tren de los Sueños is planned.

On the 24th, concerts will dominate the day, featuring a tribute to Alejandro Sanz and a performance by Nacha Pop.

On the 25th starting at 2:00 PM, the Day Fair will open in the area of the Torreón de La Cala, and that same evening, two concerts are scheduled, one by María Ruiz and another by Javi Medina. On the 26th, it will be Rasel's turn with the show 'La Loka on Tour', and Paco Candela will close the scheduled concert agenda on the 27th.

During the 25th and 26th of July, there will be a Purple Point at the fairground under the slogan 'Respect without excuses'.

Security Arrangements

To ensure safety at the Fair, the City Council will deploy a team including Local Police, Firefighters, and Civil Protection. Regarding the police force, about a hundred officers will be deployed throughout the fair, distributed in various services, reinforcing the usual municipal service. At night, the operation will have police presence from 7:00 PM to approximately 6:00 AM. During the day fair, officers will be operational from 12:00 PM until the end of each day.

The Mijas Firefighters will have a fixed staff and a truck throughout the Fair, which will allow them to respond quickly to any emergency. They are also responsible for checking and supervising the facilities to ensure that booths, rides, and other structures comply with the safety measures required by regulations.

The Civil Protection Group will play, once again, an essential role in this arrangement, actively collaborating in prevention and assistance tasks. Additionally, the Group provides families with well-known identification bracelets for minors and vulnerable individuals, which facilitate their location in case of getting lost. These bracelets, available at the Civil Protection stand, include a contact number to quickly notify their companions.
