Let the shopping centre on your right, then turn right following “Ronda del Littoral”. The Forum car park is immediately on your right almost by the entrance of the tunnel !

Very often you will see them on the street to the beach or on the beach itself. Colourful, joyfull, sunny… you will enjoy they lively music … the GADJO band

 Gadjo are daft about Gypsy melodies. They sing like lovesick fools, tooting and trilling the  audience into a whirlwind of dance with their swing, ska and balkan rhythms and quirky songs about infatuated accordions, gold teeth, ilegal living and dodgy workmen.
