This week, our neighbours in Torremolinos celebrate their local festivities in honour of their patron saint. The ‘Feria de San Miguel’ is their biggest event of the year and offers 4 days (from 25th to 29th September) of fun and entertainment to all who visit the town.
There’s a lot going on over the course of these 4 days, and below we’ve put together 4 reasons why we think you should visit the Torremolinos fair this weekend. It’s a great opportunity to experience true Spanish culture and have a blast! 🙂
For the 17th year running, our friends at Goldsoul – well-established UK Soul event promoters – are coming back for a fun week of the best tunes, lots of dancing and, of course, sunshine!!!
This year’s ‘Costa del Soul’ event promises to be the best yet. It runs from Friday 3rd October to Saturday 11th October and featuring some of the top DJ’s from the UK playing the most fantastic Soul Music Tunes throughout the day.
Soul music lovers can enjoy their daily dose of Classic Soul tunes by the hotel’s poolside Kanaloa terrace whilst enjoying a cool jug of Sangria and working on their tans!
After a hard day by the pool, the fun continues in the Panorama Bar with some laid-back soul from 6 to 9 pm. This includes the ever-popular happy hour and the chance to catch up and watch the latest live Premier League or Champions League football matches.
Visiting Benalmadena during the busy summer months – July & August – can be stressful. Too many people, too much traffic, too many queues, it’s too hot… stress!
However, if you’re willing to hold off on your holiday plans until September, the panorama changes… drastically!
September is probably one of the best times of year to visit Benalmadena. Although it’s still busy, kids are back at school and Spanish travellers (who usually holiday in August) are back at work. You’ll also find that flights and accommodation are considerably cheaper and the weather is still fantastic; lots of sunshine but not as stiflingly hot as July and August.
Rachael Blackmore, one of National Hunt racing’s most iconic figures – and one of Ireland’s most admired athletes – will be the new face of FBD Hotels & Resorts.
This exclusive two-year brand ambassador partnership was announced at The Curragh on Saturday, 9th August 2025. Rachael will feature in FBD Hotels & Resorts’ marketing campaigns and content shoots as well as make personal appearances at various events during this two-year partnership.
From Thursday 28th August to Sunday 31st August 2025, Benalmádena Pueblo (the old town) will host the latest edition of its Arabian Market (Zoco), an event which, once again, returns to the town’s summer cultural programme.
The Arabian Market will be spread out throughout various locations, running from Calle Real to Plaza del Aguacil and Plaza de las Tres Culturas. Aimed to promote the town’s beauty and charm, the town hall hopes this unique event will once again attract tourists from all over the Coast.
Next week (from the 13th to the 17th August) is ‘Feria’ week here in Benalmadena with the ‘Pueblo’ (Town) celebrating festivities in honour of their patron, the Virgen de la Cruz.
Obviously, this is a very traditional event and many of the activities and events organised for the week may not appeal to many of our guests; however, we’ve put together a short list of what we feel are some of the highlights of the fair and that you might enjoy. Here goes…
