Málaga Fair

8 days of continuous joy and fun that infect the whole of Málaga with a festive and energetic air. This festival commemorates the reconquest of Málaga by the Catholic Monarchs. It always opens with a proclamation recited by someone native and, at night, people congregate on the Malagueta beach to watch a fireworks light show.

During these days of celebration, the soul of Málaga is split in two; one part stays in the center of Malaga, and the other in the fairgrounds. In the center, the fair begins in the morning and, as the afternoon falls, the party moves to the fairgrounds, popularly called El Real. In this enclosure, there are attractions for the little ones, family booths and clubs for the partygoers.

We recommend that you bring your friends and family to live the biggest party in Malaga and make the most of it. We assure you that it will be an unforgettable experience!
