A LOS AMIGOS

THE IDEA

The Rethymno International Tango Festival “A Los Amigos” was a lifetime dream come true. The vibrant tango community of Rethymno, but also the entire tango community of Crete, a place in the periphery of Greece and Europe, opened up in a big embrace and founded A LOS AMIGOS in 2013, an event that aims at maintaining the essence of Τango. The cast of A los Amigos has always been filled with artists who we respect a lot for their contribution in the growth of tango, but with whom also a close friendship has been established over the years. This festival was conceived as a true celebration of Tango & Friendship and it has been growing every year more and more thanks to the love of the people who visit it and the help of our volunteers and our sponsors. We just love what we do and we hope to welcome you, too, in our embrace and make you testimony of the magic around A LOS AMIGOS.

The recipe of success

8 Amazing Milongas

“A los Amigos” features 8 evening & afternoon milongas in a span of 5 days, starting with the opening milonga on Thursday 31/08 and ending on Monday 04/09 with our farewell party-milonga. Dance the night away during the evening and get the marathon-like feeling during our afternoon milongas to the superb music brought to you by our carefully selected djs who are there to make your dancing experience in Crete unforgettable! A big venue with an excellent floor for the Grand Milongas ensures your comfort and a unique historic building in the old town, just a few steps from the workshops’ venue, offers the setting for the 3 afternoon milongas (Friday to Sunday). To relax, enjoy your coffee or tea and admire the view of the old town from the wonderful terrace between tandas. 5 days and nights of pure enjoyment, embraces from all over the globe and friends meeting year after year in what has become the MUST event of the summer!
