What?
Aint Nothin' But... in collaboration with the Mijas Town Council Foreigners Department, present the 5th Mijas Blues Festival. It is back to its original and best format; as a stand-alone FREE Festival, to be held in the main Plaza of the beautiful hillside village of Mijas, Malaga in Southern Spain, 4th - 5th of June.
The Festival will be held over 2 days this year, with food & drink readily available in the Plaza and in the many surrounding bars & restaurants.
For further information on the town and accommodation go to - www.mijas.es
Why?
The Mijas Blues Festival is a continuation of the work carried out by the Ain't Nothin' But...Blues Bar in London.
After years of talking with the local council, we finally persuaded them to give it a chance! Right from the start, the anticipation was immense and the realisation of the festival has proven to be the most popular attraction on the coast, attracting people from around Europe to this beautiful village.
The festival has provided the opportunity to take promoting The Blues to another level, and attract major artists from around the world.
This has already been proved by flying in Blues artists & bands solely to play at our festival.
We hope to become one of the major Blues festivals in Europe in the coming years, with the help of the Mijas Council, and any other sponsors who come forward to be part of it. It is festival with a vey bright future.
When & Where?
For those of you who have been here before, we will NOT be holding a Jam Session at the Mijas Hotel on the Thursday night.
We will however, be holding the whole Festival in the central Plaza, Virgin de Pena, enveloped by gorgeous shady trees, and the music is of course all FREE.
Times for each day will be
Saturday 5pm - 2am
Sunday 3:30pm - 10pm
Be sure to come early as big crowds are expected, as per usual.
Mijas, situated in the hearth of the western Costa del Sol lies only 30 kilometres from Malaga International Airport. It has a varied landscape that goes from the mountains all the way to the sea.
The area of Mijas is mostly mountainous with growing developments along the coast and on the gentler parts of the mountain slopes before they plunge into the sea. The Pasadas and Ojen rivers cross this area, they join to form the river Fuengirola which flows into the sea almost on the limits between Fuengirola and Mijas. Visit www.mijas.es for info on the area.
