The week long International Habaneras Competition in Torrevieja starts on Sunday 21st July and continues until Saturday 27th July 2024. It is one of the most popular cultural events within Torrevieja. The first competition was held in 1955 and there has been one every year since then. The Habanera is a specific type of music that originated from Cuba in the 19th century. It was the first written music to be rhythmically based on an African motif, and the first dance music from Cuba to be exported all over the world.
