Malaga Fair 2014

The Málaga fair, also called “Feria” in Spanish is just around the corner.

This year the fair will take place from the 16th to the 23rd of August and in between there is a local holiday in Málaga on the 19th of August.  (Shops and museums will be closed that day).

The inauguration of the Málaga fair takes place on Friday the 15th at midnight with a massive fireworks display on the “La Malagueta” beach, located next to Muelle Uno.  Then there is the free concert with the music group “Andy & Lucas” once the fair is officially open.

Over the following days you can join in with the fun and dance during the daytime in the centre of Malaga.  Just follow the stream of people to Calle Larios at the heart of the city which is always adorned in blazing colour and where you must take a photo – you will hear it before you see it!  The side streets and alleys will also be buzzing with feria makers. . Around 18.00hr each day the city centre winds down and the fair moves to the outskirts of Málaga on the big fairground called “Cortijo de Torres”.  You will find the fairground next to Malaga congress centre and if you are coming along the A-7 you can follow the signs for “Feria”

At the fair ground you will not only find “casetas” (tents) where you can enjoy flamenco music and tasty tapas, but there is also a large area with fairground attractions and rides for children and adults.

It is relatively easy to park next to the fairground as there are large parking areas provided.   But it is obviously easier to find a parking space earlier rather than later in the evening  as masses of people arrive later from 22.00h as the fair goes on practically all night. The parking time is unlimited for only a small donation of 1€ to the disabled association.

And as usual, we remind you that if you have to catch a flight in the evening during the “Malaga fair week”, then we strongly recommend that you plan plenty of extra time to arrive to the Airport as  there are usually queues to and from the access roads on the motorway to the fairground area.

Have a fun Málaga Feria!
