On the 6th and 7th September – the picturesque white village of Guaro celebrates the 26th edition of its famous ‘Luna Mora’ Festival.
As has been the case since before the pandemic, festivities have been reduced to two days (It’s used to be four). However, they’ve still managed to put together an impressive programme of events with activities and entertainment for all the family.
Throughout the weekend, the village becomes a meeting point for traditional Andalusí music and culture. The streets come alive in the evenings with the stunning illumination of 20,000 candles strategically positioned to create a unique and magical ambience. Visitors will also be able to enjoy the traditional Arab artisan market, workshops (Henna and belly dancing), street performers, storytelling and mouth-watering gastronomy.

Are you planning on visiting Benalmadena for the first time?
Do you need a guide to Benalmadena?
Although we get many repeat guests at Sunset Beach Club, many are first-timers and as a result, often require local information to help them get around.
Our Leisure Desk and Reception staff are more than happy to provide guests with local information and a long list of things to do; however, it is handy to have a quick reference on hand before travelling so that you can plan your activities and decide where to go and what to see. (more…)
