First race meeting at the Hipódromo de Mijas

Even the threat of rain did nothing to put off the thousands of people who attended the first race night of the summer season at the Hipódromo de Mijas. Early arrivals came to get their seat to watch Spain vs. Paraguay on the many bar and restaurant terraces. Spain scored the only goal as the horses for the first race were warming up on the track. Almost as soon as the final whistle blew and a roar boomed around the “Plaza” there was a rush to the barrier to watch the horses thunder by.

Six races during the night, along with flamenco shows and live entertainment all around the Plaza, gave all attending great value for their €5 entrance ticket.

Another highlight of the evening was the “Michael Jackson Tribute Show” on stage in Le Chic, the live music disco bar on the VIP terrace, again great value as entry was free!

The next race meeting in on Saturday 10th July, doors open at 20:00.

The photos of the new “Le Chic” in Hipodromo looking wonderful happy and entertaining plus an animating article. Even me, not too familiar with horse races must come around and enjoy a special night in “Le Chic”. Well done, Martyn!

A great night, MJ tribute was brilliant as were the pimps! The best thing was you could see the whole race from up on the terrace.
BTW the best burger I have had for a long time!!
