The Magic of the Malaga Fair

The Malaga Fair (Feria de Málaga) is a huge celebration on the Costa del Sol that dates back to 1487 when the then Catholic Kings took the city, but over time it has evolved into a cosmopolitan celebration which involves non-stop activities, performances and concerts for 1 week. Book your holiday in Benalmadena at the Hotel MAC Puerto Marina and join in with the celebrations while also enjoying the relaxation at your own 4-star hotel.

Taking place this year from the 15th of August until the 24th of August the Feria begins on the evening of the 14th with the Pregon de la Feria speech followed by a magnificent firework display which is best enjoyed from the port. What a perfect way to mark the start of the celebrations and your summer holidays!

Although the week is full of dancing, concerts, shows, bull-fighting and even sporting events the two “must see” events are that of the ‘Romeria’ to the Church of Santa Maria de la Victoria, which is an historic parade that takes place on the 17th of August 2019. The parade celebrates the delivery of the city flag to the sanctuary of Our Lady of Victory and starts at the Town Hall.

The second fair which cannot be missed according to MAC Hotels is that of the historical parade. Taking place on the 18th of August, it recreates the moment the city was stormed by the Catholic monarchs, generally starting at Plaza de la Aduana with the delivery of the keys to the Abanderado (a person chosen from among the famous locals of Malaga) and ending in Calle Alcazabilla.

So after all the celebrations it’s normal that you would want a change of pace with some rest and relaxation from your summer holiday. Staying our Hotel in Benalmadena offers just that, with luxury services and facilities including Spa services, which are the perfect way to recharge your batteries combined with the wonderful beaches and quiet bars and restaurants to enjoy special times.
