The Malagueño singer Pablo López performs this Friday at Marenostrum Fuengirola, his hometown, as part of the 'El Niño del Espacio' tour. This will be the 40th concert of a tour that started six months ago.
Pablo López is coming home. The Malagueño artist, born in Fuengirola, will perform this Friday on the Marenostrum Fuengirola stage for the first time during his El Niño del Espacio tour. The event, which will kick off at 22:00, promises to be one of the most emotional nights of his career.
The singer acknowledges that, despite having already toured half the country, stepping onto the stage in his hometown has a special meaning. "We've only been touring for six months, but this will already be concert number 40. It feels like years have passed, but the sensation is that you start anew every day," he confessed in a radio interview. "And especially on the 3rd, when the nerves rise to the tips of my fingers."
Roots that are never forgotten
Talking about Fuengirola is talking about his roots. Although he left the town years ago to live first in London and then in Madrid, López insists he has never truly left. "I have the feeling that when you grow up in a place and become a human being there, you never really leave," he stated. "The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Fuengirola is everything."
Among his most cherished memories are iconic places from his youth, such as El Piso, the bar where he began playing the piano and learning about music, or a beach in Los Boliches to which he still feels a special "magnetism." "I have been very happy there, with my family, my little waves, my Spanish omelette, and my meatballs. When I go to Fuengirola, my body just goes there," he explained.
A concert full of symbolism
The tour takes its name from El Niño del Espacio, a figure with which the artist increasingly identifies. "It's the child who is increasingly allowed to peek out from that balcony where the lights go out and the lights of the soul come on," he explained. "I believe that one of the most beautiful dangers that has happened to me in life is being able to allow myself to be a child."
That spirit will mark a performance that he defines as a deeply personal experience. López acknowledges that performing in his homeland will be much more than just a stop on the tour. "It means a two-hour reflection. I think it will be about closing circles, healing some soul wounds from everything one experiences when trying to fight for something that resists. It’s a dream come true," he assured.
Beyond music, Pablo López takes pride in his Malagueño roots whenever he talks about Unicaja or Málaga CF. The artist expressed his pride that Tu bandera has become an anthem for the fans of the team. "It’s something that gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. It’s no longer mine; it’s totally the people’s," he stated. He also celebrated the promotion of Málaga CF and acknowledged that he continues to experience the same passion for the successes and joys of the white-and-blue team.
He did not hide his admiration for Raphael, for whom he composed and produced the album Victoria. An experience he describes as one of the most intense of his career. "If I ever wrote a book, it wouldn’t be about my life, but about the year and a half I lived with Raphael," he noted.
Before saying goodbye, Pablo López wanted to send a message to the thousands of people who will attend this Friday at Marenostrum Fuengirola. "I hope the nerves I have are up to what the night could be. I am grateful that that child continues to be given wings to fly. On Friday, I will keep my feet firmly on the ground to enjoy every second of music."
Because this time it won’t be just another concert. Pablo López returns home to reconnect with his people, his memories, and the place where it all began. A night that promises to be one of the most emotional of his career. Tickets are still available on the Marenostrum website and at the box office one hour before the concert.
