Apparently, there are a substantial number of Cubans living in Torremolinos, one of the most popular vacation hotspots in Europe. And some of the Cubans are throwing a party aimed at the thousands of European vacationers who flock to the beaches of Torremolinos every August. Whether this festival will inspire some of these vacationers to book a trip to Castrogonia is anyone’s guess. Let’s hope not. Whatever the outcome –given how awful Castrogonia is — this festival will give Europeans a much better taste of Cuba than Cuba itself.

Pequeña Cuba festival from August 15 to 17, in Torremolinos gives a little taste of Havana hosted by the local Cuban community.
More than 150 different nationalities live in Torremolinos and most of them have their cultures represented in one way or another. In terms of population, Cuba has more than its fair share of representatives. For that reason every year, the local Cuban association in conjunction with Torremolinos Council present ‘Pequeña Cuba’, a gastro/cultural Caribbean event with live music and entertainment, dancers, craft stalls, Cuban food and Cuban drinks.
There will also be a parade with Cuban folk costumes, small exhibitions and workshops, sharing traditional and folkloric dances of Cuba. Being held at Oasis de la Playa on Bajondillo beach, the event, receives hundreds of local and international visitors every year who come to celebrate and enjoy the best the Caribbean island has to offer.
