\"Malaga<\/a>There\u2019s just over a week to go until the start of the Costa del Sol\u2019s most popular event of the year: The M\u00e1laga Fair (2012).<\/p>\n

This year there will be lots of new surprises, extended hours (to 7pm) and the introduction of new areas and spaces such as the impressive Muelle Uno<\/a><\/span> which has received lots of great publicity this year.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s lots to do during the Malaga Fair and to detail all here would be practically impossible. Instead, we\u2019ve highlighted 8 of the most interesting events and activities you might like to see during these crazy festivities. Here goes\u2026<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Opening ceremony with live concert by local m\u00e1laga band Efecto Mariposa in Playa de la Malagueta.You\u2019ll also get to see the traditional \u2013 and spectacular \u2013 firework display which marks the official start of the M\u00e1laga Fair.<\/li>\n
