Ferias & Festivals - Fair - Malaga
Malaga FairMalaga: Third week in August The Summer Fair has its origins date back to the incorporation of Malaga into the Kingdom of Castile at the hands of the Catholic Monarchs, who entered the city on the 19th of August 1487. This immensely popular weeks sees locals and visitors alike join in an effusive celebration lasting from midday to well into the early hours. Bathed in warm summer sunshine, the city’s historical centre is bedecked with fairy lights, fans and castanets, matching to perfection the gipsy costumes and smiles worn by the thousands of people who contribute to this explosion of local song and dance. The laughter is occasionally interrupted for a most just and nutritional cause: the obligatory sampling of tasty tapas, with cheese and ham the most popular items on the menu. And so it goes on until nightfall ushers of a chance of scenery, the festivities continuing by moonlight at the Cortijo of Torres fairground. Here, a hole spectrum of rides and attractions await young and old alike, while a variety of music ranging from verdiales and flamenco to rock its played loud in the many different casetas, custom-built premises to be found throughout. Both the Young People’s Caseta and the recently opened Municipal Auditorium play host to some of the world’s most famous performers. |
