As part of the activities organised to celebrate Día de Andalucía (28 February), Torremolinos will pay tribute to Antonio Machado to mark the 150th anniversary of his birth. The event to honour the Spanish poet, one of the leading figures of the Spanish literary movement known as the Generation of ’98, will take place on Thursday 27 February in Plaza Costa del Sol at 6pm and will feature a recital by Sevillian poet María Alcantarilla, who will be accompanied by guitarist Alejandro Suárez and dancer Esperanza Márquez. Prior to this event, a traditional floral offering in tribute to Andalusian socialist politician Blas Infante, known as the “father of Andalucía”, will take place at 1pm in the square that bears his name.

The programme was presented on Monday by culture councillor José Manuel Ruiz Rivas, who explained that other activities will be held in different parts of the town. These will include the exhibition, Andalucía, by artist Juan José Díaz, which can be visited at the Casa de la Cultura until Monday 3 March. The exhibition features paintings depicting Andalusian scenes and the lives and traditions of the people from rural villages.

The popular Sabor a Málaga brand market will return to the Costa del Sol town between midday and 10pm from 27 February until 2 March. The gastronomy market will be installed in Avenida Palma de Mallorca and will offer a wide variety of agri-food products native to the province of Malaga, along with musical performances.

The programme continues with a concert on Thursday, ‘Tribute to Andalucía’ by flamenco performer José Luis Pérez-Vera, which will be held at the Pablo Ruiz Picasso cultural centre at 8.30pm. Tickets for this concert cost ten euros and are available from www.lacocheraentradas.com

On Friday, the activities will continue with veridales performances in the Plazas Federico García Lorca, Vicente Aleixandre, Costa del Sol and Andalucía from 11am.
