Why You Need To Visit The Málaga Fair
This weekend sees the start of the Costa del Sol’s largest and most popular fair, the Malaga Fair or Feria de Málaga as it’s referred to here!
If you haven’t been before, we highly recommend you do so! Get ready for 8 days of fun and entertainment as the city welcomes thousands of visitors from all over Spain for, what has become, the most popular summer fair in Andalucía and one of the most popular festivities in Spain.
The fair starts on Friday 11th August with a special Drone light show at 11:50pm. After the success of last year’s unique show, this year promises to be even more spectacular with 240 drones flying at the same time through the Malaga skies.
From midnight, we’ll be able to enjoy the spectacular pyro-musical and firework display from the cruise terminal access area in Malaga Port. Lasting 20 minutes and using more than 500 kilos of gunpowder, it’s show you wont want to miss!
The official opening of the fair takes place on Saturday 12th August in the same location as last year; the Cortijo de Torres fairground. Local basketball ace Alberto Díaz Ortiz who plays for local club Unicaja will conduct the traditional ‘Pregon’ (opening speech) before the switching on of the fair lights.
