Marbella and San Pedro Celebrate World Tourism Day with Free Candlelit Concerts

Marbella and San Pedro Alcántara will join the celebration of World Tourism Day on September 27th with two free concerts by candlelight. The general director of the sector, Laura de Arce, who presented the celebration alongside her counterpart in San Pedro, Rubén Sánchez, pointed out that "this is a very special occasion, a gesture of gratitude to both our citizens and visitors on this important anniversary that is worth celebrating," while also recalling that last year this initiative "was a great success."

"We have decided to expand the venues so that more people can enjoy this event," said De Arce, who emphasized that "it is a well-deserved tribute in a year when the city is recording excellent figures in the sector, growing in quality and profitability."

Both performances will take place at the Church Square, both in Marbella - where access to chairs will be available from 8:30 PM and the concert will start around 9:00 PM - and in San Pedro, at 10:00 PM, and will be open to the public, "with an initial capacity of 200 seats, although without restrictions for those who wish to come and enjoy the music." In Marbella, the program will feature a string repertoire that will cover great classics from international artists such as ABBA, Queen, or Frank Sinatra.

For his part, Sánchez reported that this year "a location more in keeping with the setting has been chosen" and detailed that the San Pedro audience will enjoy the art of Ana Vega, "with a proposal of classic and elegant flamenco."
