Juan Francisco Aguilera will be the town crier at the Mijas Pueblo Fair.

Juan Francisco Aguilera, the president of the Peña Santana Cultural Association from Mijas, will be the announcer at the Mijas Pueblo Fair, which will be held from September 6 to 11, as announced this Monday by the mayor, Ana Mata.

The mayor shared this news after meeting at the Town Hall with this local resident who is actively involved in the community’s network and will announce the fair, in an event scheduled for August 22 at the Miguel González Berral Auditorium, starting at 9:00 PM.

At 40 years old, Aguilera works at the Mijas Town Hall as an administrative assistant, is president of the Peña Santana Cultural Association of Mijas, and a member of the Brotherhood of Christ of the Column.

Additionally, his family is also deeply connected to the municipality, with his grandfather, Paco Aguilera, and his brothers founding the first music band, paving the way for several members to join the musical group, including Aguilera himself for over a decade.

Mata has congratulated Aguilera, while expressing confidence that he will deliver an exceptional proclamation. “Someone who knows Mijas so well, who lives it with such intensity, will offer us a great proclamation,” she emphasized.

For his part, Aguilera has mentioned that he takes on the role of announcer with “fear and a lot of nerves.” “Being chosen as the announcer has undoubtedly been the greatest show of affection received from this town. It is a privilege and a pride,” he stated.

“I will try to make it an enjoyable and fun proclamation, where the audience can reminisce about moments not only I have lived, but they have as well,” emphasized the local, who aims to “try to delve into the essence of the fair, into the child inside all of us so that we fully enjoy our fair.”

“I will try to ensure that my feeling of pride as a resident of Mijas resonates with the attendees and somehow recommend to any potential foreign audience that might pass by the auditorium,” he explained about the official proclamation event, which will take place on the upcoming August 22 at the Miguel González Berral Auditorium, starting at 9:00 PM.
