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.
