If you are on holiday in your own country property in Spain or renting a holiday villa with pool in Spain be sure not to miss out on the festival of 3 Cultures in the lovely white village of Frigiliana which will take place on the 24th, 25th, 26th and 27th of August.

The festival is a mixture of festivities and culture and was created in 2006. The idea came from the local government group who wanted to promote the village of Frigiliana as a quality tourist destination within the province combining culture, cuisine, music and theatre.

The majority of the festival revolves around the centre of the village which is the location of the street market and official organisers marquee. Here you'll find a wealth of food stalls offering all manner of things to try, some of which you'll recognize although some foods may be a new experience for you

Just across from the street market area, in the Plaza de las Tres Culturas, is a stage erected for larger scale musical performances with seats provided and plenty of room for those not lucky enough to get seated. This area also has a small market although it's mainly made up of food and drink stalls.

Without doubt though the most popular activity during the three cultures festival though is the tapa route that will lead you all over the village to the various bars and taverns. If you drop by the official marquee in the towns centre before you begin you can pick up a tapa route card with a little map showing you all the bars taking part in the route. As you go from bar to bar get your card stamped and if you really put the work in on your tapa route adventure you can collect a free tapa route t-shirt at the end of the night from the organisers marquee.

Gastronomy is also very apparent at the festival, each year, various restaurants design menus that are relative to the 3 cultures theme offering Sephardic, Arabic or Christian menus, not usually offered throughout the rest of the year.

Calle Zacatin is converted into an improvised souk every day from 18:00 hours. Throughout the street you can observe how craftsmen and women work with the most diverse materials.

From 12:00h to 15:00h and from 18:00h to 00:00h all around Frigiliana, new and old town, there will be theatrical entertainment with performances, stilt walkers, belly dancing, music and entertainment.

Another nice thing to see if you visit the three cultures festival in Frigiliana is the projector show at the village church, the church of San Antonio de Padua. The white walled church offers the perfect canvas for a revolving picture display of images portraying the three cultures that the festival is celebrating and never fails to draw a crowd of both locals and visitors.

If you're staying in Competa or in the surrounding area in a holiday villa with pool or in your own country property, townhouse or apartment during the three cultures festival you really should take an evening to go and see for yourself what's happening. Programs are available in English, prior to the event from the official website.
