The Estepona City Council informs that next Saturday, April 25, will be held a new edition of the Foreign Resident Day, which will take place from 12:00 to 21:00 hours in the surroundings of the Mirador del Carmen Tower. On this occasion, the event reaches its 25th anniversary, consolidating itself as one of the most emblematic events of the cultural calendar of the municipality.

This event, organized by the Consistory, will feature the participation of nearly thirty stands of international groups that will show the typical products, cuisine and crafts of their countries of origin, making this space a multicultural meeting point open to neighbors and visitors.

The deputy mayor of the Extraradio area, Begoña Ortiz, said that the aim of this annual event is to continue strengthening ties and promoting coexistence between citizens of different nationalities residing in Estepona, as well as offering a unique opportunity to learn and share the traditions, folklore and customs of the different cultures present in the city.
