The 44th Torrox Migas Festival will offer tastings and music.

A concert by Javier Ojeda, a Christmas zambombá, an afternoon party, and of course, migas. These are some of the ingredients of the Migas Festival in Torrox, which will celebrate its 44th edition on Sunday, December 21. The flamenco dress model, classical dance teacher, and presenter of Canal Sur Televisión, Eva Ruiz, will be this year's herald, while the promotional poster has been created by the designer Daniel Escobar.

The program will start at 11 in the morning at the Plaza de la Constitución with performances from various local choirs and the Torrox Choirs and Dances group. Then, the awards for the II 'Christmas Tales' Contest aimed at schoolchildren will be presented, followed by speeches from the Councilor for Festivities, Salvador Escudero, and the mayor of Torrox, Óscar Medina. Eva Ruiz's proclamation will give way to the traditional conch shell signal by local resident Angelita Villena, officially starting the festivities.

Around one in the afternoon, authorities and guests will walk to the Llano de la Almazara, where free servings of migas with arriera salad and local wine will be distributed, accompanied by the Coto Tres Hermanas verdiales band in Almogía style. The local band The Crumbs will liven up the event in the same area.

Fireworks and Parking

Concurrently, at the Plaza de la Constitución, from 1:15 PM, the group Candela will perform their Christmas zambombá. Following this, at about 4:00 PM, the big concert by Javier Ojeda will take place. The 'super tardeo' will be hosted by DJs Vicman Romero & Mike Sildavia starting at 6:00 PM. The festivities will culminate at 9 PM with a fireworks display.

A bus parking area will be set up for the day at the old San Roque field, next to the Convento de las Nieves and the Civil Guard barracks, or the large parking lot next to the Hotel Iberostar on the coast can be used, where bus service will be reinforced throughout the day to transport attendees.

Local Wine Contest

The traditional local wine contest was also held, featuring a public blind tasting of the 14 samples submitted to the competition. This year's winners were Cristina Guerrero (15 arrobas at 70 euros), Nieves Godoy (8 arrobas at 60 euros), and participation awards accepted by the jury, of 3 arrobas at 30 euros each. The Torrox Town Hall has purchased the arrobas at that amount, and the wine will be distributed for free along with the migas and arriera salad on the day of the Migas Festival. This edition's tasters were Rocío López, José Medina, and José Alberto Medina.
