It’s that time of the year when Fuengirola comes alive in a burst of colors and music – it’s the Feria de Fuengirola, running from the 6th to the 12th of October!
Picture this: a spectacular fireworks display kicks off the festivities, setting the night sky ablaze. Over the past two decades, our beloved feria has grown into one of the coast’s grandest events, transforming the purpose-built fairground between Fuengirola and Los Boliches into a magical wonderland.
As you step onto the fairground, you’re greeted by a riot of lights, and the laughter of children fills the air. The little ones have their own kingdom here, with merry-go-rounds and thrilling rides that promise endless joy. Venture deeper, and you’ll find ‘casetas’ – charming little bars, each with its unique music and dance events. These casetas are where the heart of the feria beats, where families gather for leisurely lunches, and friends unite to dance the night away.
Ah, the traditional drinks! While ‘fino,’ a dry sherry, is the star, you’ll find a plethora of beverages flowing freely – from wine and beer to spirits and soft drinks. The air is filled with the rich aroma of Spanish cuisine, tantalizing your taste buds with every step. And oh, the attire! Locals and visitors alike don traditional Spanish outfits, flamenco dresses swirling and short jackets adding a touch of elegance.
Horses grace our feria too, their majestic presence adding a unique charm. Prizes are awarded to the finest horses, showcasing the deep-rooted Spanish love for these magnificent creatures. And let’s not forget the bullring, where horse-drawn carriages parade, adding to the excitement of the week.
Navigating the festivities can be a challenge, especially with parking. For a hassle-free experience, hop on the train – the heartbeats of the feria can be felt even from the train windows.
Don’t miss a beat; grab a program from the Casa de Cultura or local shops.
Join us for a week of endless fun, laughter, and unforgettable moments. Hope to see you all there!!
