Great ideas for your visit in September in Malaga with Helle Hollis

If you plan to come to Malaga this month, then you are still have time to book your car  and for a great way to enjoy it, use some of our ideas for what to do or see during your visit.

Local Spanish fairs (ferias)

If you didn’t have the chance to participate in the sizzling Malaga fair during August, then you still have the chance to join in with one at the smaller village ones. There’s no excuse as they run through to the middle of October!

In the beginning of  September join in the celebrations in Ronda where you have the chance to dance and have fun with the local people. During day time the fair is taking place in the city centre – and it’s an event that the locals wait all year for!

Or if you were looking for something more local then try the white washed village of Mijas Pueblo where the fair is celebrated from the 7th to the 11th of September.  Dates may vary from year to year but it always takes place during the beginning of September month. If you come out later in the month you won’t miss out as from the 26th to the 29th of September we have the fair in Torremolinos with it’s ever popular Romeria (pilgrimage) with horse and oxen drawn carriages.  Normally in the past the Romeria goes through the centre and old quarters of Torremolinos, stopping in the pine tree area at the back of the towns waterpark where eating, drinking and being merry are order of the day!

Día de la Pasa (the day of the Raisin)  El Borge

If you are looking to visit a local village, then El Borge is celebrating the day of the Raisin (Día de la Pasa) mid of  September.  This village with only 1000 habitants is world famous for its raisin productions and during this event there will be demonstrations of the traditional skills that are use for harvesting and wine making.  – And of course there will be tasting of the raisins and the wine.

El Borge is situated only an hour drive from Malaga airport. Head for direction to Nerja and take the exit to Torre de Benagalbón and then continue for Almáchar.    Please check the website for El Borge to get the exact details of the event as it may change from year to year.
