Fiesta de Las Cuevecitas: Children’s festival with a parade and dinner
At the children's festival in Las Cuevecitas, there will be face painting, bouncy castles, a clown and a parade of the Cabezudos, accompanied by a drumming group, through the streets. This will be followed by dinner at the ventorrillo with live music from Son Canarias and Los Comandantes. The festival is aimed primarily at families with children.
The children's festival begins at 17:00. The programme includes activities for children, face painting and bouncy castles. Grupo Nostalgia will be performing, and there will also be a clown.
The Cabezudos, large papier-mâché figures with oversized heads, will then parade through the neighbourhood's streets together with the Batucada Almagec. The Batucada is a drumming group.
Afterwards, there will be dinner at the ventorrillo, a simple tavern. 'Fritango de castañas', a chestnut dish, will be served. Son Canarias and Los Comandantes will provide the music.
The children's festival is part of the Las Cuevecitas festivities, which begin on Saturday 28 November with a dance festival and end on Monday 30 November with the celebrations in honour of the Apostle Saint Andrew.
