Next 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 15th August with a Historical Parade through the streets of the old town at 8:00pm. At 11:50 p.m., you’ll be able to enjoy a special Drone light show, which, after the success of last year’s unique show, promises to be even more spectacular with over 200 drones flying simultaneously through the Malaga skies.
From midnight, you get to watch the spectacular pyro-musical and fireworks display from the cruise terminal access area in Malaga Port. Lasting 20 minutes and using more than 500 kilos of gunpowder, it’s a show you won’t want to miss!
The fair’s official opening takes place on Saturday 16th August in the same location as last year; the Cortijo de Torres fairground. Local writer Javier Castillo will conduct the traditional ‘Pregon’ (opening speech) before the switching on of the fair lights.
The ‘Virgen del Carmen‘ celebrations take place in Benalmadena Marina from next Sunday 13th July, 2025.
The Benalmadena town hall has prepared various events which will take place on Sunday 13th, Monday 14th, Tuesday 15th, and Wednesday 16th July, including a wonderful procession through the streets of Benalmádena Costa in which the fishermen will carry their ‘Stella Maris’ to the Marina. She’ll be lifted aboard a boat and paraded along the Benalmadena coastline (weather permitting).
If you’ve got some good binoculars, a great place to watch this is from the terrace in our Panorama Bar here at Sunset Beach Club or from the promenade just in front of the hotel. (more…)
The San Juan Fair in Arroyo de la Miel is back again this year with a full programme of events which kicks off on Monday 23rd June!
This year, we’ll be able to enjoy the amazing fireworks display on San Juan night (23rd June) as well as the traditional bonfires along the beaches. The popular ‘Casetas’ are back in the main fairground every night as are all the fairground attractions and live music concerts. The day fair will also provide hours of entertainment with live music and dancing featuring local artists.
Benalmádena is getting ready to host it’s popular ‘Feria del Marisco’ (Seafood Fair) from the 29th May to the 1st June. This event takes place in a large tent in the parking area (next to Kaleido Bar) in Benalmádena Marina. All visitors to the Marina will be able to sample some of the most delicious seafood at bargain prices! (more…)
Concert season is in full swing on the Costa del Sol. Many of our guests like to know what’s going on up and down the Coast as they often like to get out and experience some of the great nightlife we have on offer in this wonderful part of the world and a good concert is the perfect excuse for a great night out.
Yes, we do have a great entertainment programme on-site at Sunset Beach Club, with live music, tribute bands and musicals; however, sometimes even we can’t compete with the likes of Duran Duran, Tom Jones or Bryan Adams!
There are plenty of live concerts programmed along the coast over the summer: Below, we have highlighted some of the top concerts and shows with information on specific dates, venues and ticket prices.
(Note: Ticket prices are correct at the time of publishing this post but could vary as ticket availability changes. Please check the links at the bottom to see the latest prices.)
On Saturday 24th May 2025, the promenade in front of Sunset Beach Club in Benalmádena will become the meeting point for another edition of the Cudeca Walkathon.
Every year, we here at Sunset Beach Club provide our unconditional support to this fantastic event aiming to raise awareness for the incredible work the Cudeca Foundation does for Cancer patients here on the Costa del Sol. The funds raised during the Walkathon also allow for the continued palliative care the Cudeca Hospice offers to more than 1400 cancer patients and their families free of charge.
