Soul of Mijas Pueblo at night by candlelight

Mijas Pueblo is transformed from 4 to 6 July into a spectacular spectacle, as the second annual Mijas con Alma a la Luz de las Velas – Mijas with Soul in Candlelight – illuminates the historic streets of Mijas Pueblo with over 15,000. 

From 9.30pm each evening, iconic locations such as Calle Málaga, Plaza Libertad, Calle San Sebastián, Plaza de la Constitución, Calle Los Caños, Avenida del Compás, and Paseo de la Muralla will be filled with flickering candles, creating an enchanting ambiance that brings out Mijas’ inherent charm.

A medieval craft market will be featured at the festival, with more than 40 stalls. This offers a stroll through the village that is complemented by a variety of dining options, as well as a whimsical ‘wish tree’.

The event will include a series of concerts at the Miguel González Berral Municipal Auditorium. On July 4, IM-Pulse will perform a tribute to Pink Floyd, followed by Bernáldez Latin Jazz Orchestra’s A Night in Havana on July 5, bringing Caribbean jazz rhythms to the stage. The festival concludes on July 6th with a tribute of the legendary Bee Gees. All performances begin at 10pm, with tickets available at lacocheraentradas.com.

Shuttle bus services are available from 6pm until 2am to connect the fairgrounds at Las Lagunas, La Cala and the parking lot in the Mijas village Quarry. This is because local police will likely restrict access to the village by car.
