What’s On This Weekend

The Habaneras shopping centre in Torrevieja is holding a special event on Saturday, with free paella, live music, Zumba, dancing, and more. You do need the Habaneras Club app to register though.

The Film Symphony Orchestra are performing on Saturday night in the International Auditorium in Torrevieja, playing music from films in a symphonic, orchestral sort of way.

A wine-based theatrical tour around the vineyards of La Mata is taking place on Saturday and Sunday evening, though booking is essential, and they tend to fill up very quickly, so you´re probably too late to be honest. In that case, you can always buy a bottle of vino and go and enjoy it at one of the picnic tables overlooking the lake (pictured below), under the shade of the protected trees. Just take your rubbish home and don´t drink and drive. Definitely do that though, it’s really pleasant and offers a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life!

You might bump into the odd twitcher on Sunday (odd as in occasional, not strange!) as an ornithological event is taking place in the La Mata natural park on Sunday.

If you fancy a poke around an exhibition or two, in Torrevieja Manu Sanz is displaying work, “La Evanescencia de lo sólido de Manu Sanz” at the Vistalegre exhibition hall until 19 June, described as a “metaphysical exploration of the volatility of reality” it´s basically objects from a different perspective, using mirrors and shapes to present everyday objects in a different way.

There´s also the Exposición Olof Melkorka on until 7 June at the Sociedad Cultural Casino de Torrevieja on Paseo Vista Alegre.

An Optimist windsurf competition is taking place in the waters of Torrevieja on Saturday, and a fishing competition on Sunday.

Saturday 25 May sees Game Party Rojales taking place, where you can enjoy the likes of Fortnite and Rocket League, amongst others. If you don´t know what that means, it means it´s not for you!

If you do know what it means then you might also be interested in a trip to Almoradi, where an exhibition about the history of videogames is taking place from this weekend until 19 July in the town hall exhibition room.

The Cuevas del Rodeo de Rojales will host a “handpan” music event next weekend, the provincial music meeting ‘ Handpanearte’ on May 31, June 1 and 2.
