Mia can you clarify which days are where as the opening part of your post seems to indicate that there will be kites in El Cotillo every day but the listing indicates 8th only
Thanks in anticipation

I've just read that there will be 450 kites, from 8 countries, taking part in the festival. Should be spectacular!
